QUICK FACTS

DESCRIPTION

This is a contemporary artwork by the acclaimed artist Karl Lagasse, featuring a stylized rendition of a United States one-dollar bill. The piece is rendered in a monochromatic black and white, giving it a striking and modern aesthetic. The images show both the obverse and reverse sides of the dollar bill, meticulously detailed with the familiar motifs such as George Washington's portrait, the Great Seal of the United States with the Eye of Providence, and the words 'ONE' and 'IN GOD WE TRUST'. The artwork appears to be a print or a mixed media piece with a matte finish, subtly crinkled or waved to add a three-dimensional quality, mimicking a physical dollar bill. On one of the images, the artist's signature 'KARL LAGASSE' along with the edition number '73/100' is visible, confirming it as a limited-edition print.
