Money in Art

About this book

Examining how money has been a central subject and material for art throughout the last 70 years, this book features a curated selection of 90 works by artists from around the world. Organised chronologically, these artworks also reveal the rapidly changing nature of currency - from physical coins and banknotes through to today's digital formats - and how artists have responded to key moments in post-war economic history. Each artwork is accompanied by an engaging and illuminating text by art historian David Trigg, which explains both the work and the wider financial context from which it came. An introductory essay provides an overview of money's symbolic role throughout Western at history, going back to Classical Greece.
