Críticas:

"The simplicity of the book (and its diminutive size) make it obvious as a gift item or stocking stuffer for the aesthetic capitalist on your holiday list..." Blog on Books "As a special gift for the daughter of one of his closet friends--diamond dealer and art collector John Reinhold--Andy Warhol created a one-of-a-kind book in 1981. That book, "Making Money", is about to be published for the first time, featuring never-before-seen drawings. This whimsical edition captures Warhol's famed attitude toward art and commerce." "Metro Source NY""Here is an artist sharing his newest (in some respects) work with his most cherished fan." Curated "It's amazing how such a little book can give such a huge glimpse into another side of Warhol--separated from the organized weirdness of The Factory and freed just to be Andy, a friend sharing his gifts with his friends." big think"Love it. Want it." "Paper" "Few artists made money their concern as openly as Andy Warhol. He made many pronouncement on his fascination with the dollar sign ('Big time art is big time money'), both as a symbol, and as something he cherished, and so it was only natural that the dollar sign itself, one of the most recognized symbols anywhere in the world, should enter the Pop art pantheon via his hand." Flavorpill ""Andy Warhol: Making Money "is a collection of drawings which morph and build from lumpy shapes into dollar signs. Originally given by Warhol as a 1981 Christmas gift to Berkeley Reinhold, the daughter of art/diamond dealer friend John Reinhold, the new edition from Skira/Rizzoli compiles the drawings into a thick and satisfying flipbook."

Reseña del editor:

A whimsically designed facsimile of a unique book of drawings made by Andy Warhol that celebrates the dollar sign as lingua franca. Few artists made money their concern as openly as Andy Warhol. He made many pronouncements on his fascination with the dollar ("Big-time art is big-time money"), both as a symbol and as something he cherished, and so it was only natural that the dollar sign itself, one of the most recognized symbols anywhere in the world, that international denominator of currency, should enter the Pop art pantheon. Created in 1981 as a Christmas gift for Berkeley Reinhold, the cousin of the visionary curator and critic Henry Geldzahler and the daughter of one of Warhol's closest friends, this book begins with simple outlines and curves, and builds, with a flipbook-like genesis, from unique abstract drawings to recognizable images of the artist's inimitable dollar sign. Lighthearted, but with a hint of serious intent, it is an astute expression of how Warhol reveled in the vicissitudes of art and commerce, fortune and circumstance.
