“Front And Back,” created in 1962 by Andy Warhol, is a significant work within the Pop Art movement characterized by its still life genre. The artwork juxtaposes the front and back views of dollar bills, reflecting Warhol’s interest in consumer culture and mass production.
The artwork displays a grid of dollar bills, with the left half representing the reverse side of the bills in green and the right half the obverse side in black and white. This repetitive arrangement emphasizes the concept of ubiquity and the commodification of money, quintessential themes in Warhol’s oeuvre. The systematic repetition and dual representation present a critical commentary on the nature of currency as both an object of utility and a symbol of economic value.
