Beautiful And Extremely Artistic Vintage Scandinavian Andy Warhol Dollar Sign Art Rug, Country of Origin / Rug Type: Scandinavia, Circa Date: Mid – 20th Century – This small size Scandinavian rug, features the iconic Pop art dollar sign design by the world renowned pop artist Andy Warhol.

In this rendering, the art rug is divided into four squares. Each of these squares features a solid background color in blue, tan, red and white respectively. Within each square of this spectacular Andy Warhol dollar sign art rug, set against the solid background color, a centrally displayed drawing of the US dollar sign, “$”, is scribbled with child like freedom.

A sharp juxtaposition in color within each quadrant of the Andy Warhol dollar sign art rug takes place between the US dollar sign and the backdrop of the square itself. If the square itself is soft, and inviting in color, the US dollar sign is a bold, powerful shade. In contrast, if the square appears a vibrant shade, then the US dollar sign is a neutral tone.

This mid twentieth century rug is reflective of Andy Warhol’s pop art. Its bright colors and chalk like drawings would bring a bit of life to any room it occupied. Warhol’s signature along the bottom of the small size rug is a bold black, which appears vividly at the intersection of the two bottom squares.

The US dollar signs almost appear to be intended as 3 dimensional renderings. This is especially obvious in slightly overlapping sign symbols giving the impression of depth. The top left and bottom right squares are especially evident of this overlapping e dimensional like cartoon rendering.

While this Andy Warhol dollar sign art rug is a beautifully decorative area rug, it could just as easily be used and appreciated as a wall hanging tapestry rug. Regardless of how ones chooses to display it, this iconic dollar sign by Andy Warhol is sure to add a touch of sophisticated artistic pop art to any room.
