Purchase Old 500 Dollar Bill- Red Limited Edition Hand-Embellished Oil Paint HPM Silkscreen Print on Canvas by Steve Kaufman SAK Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2003 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition Canvas, the image is in perfect condition—front of the United States 500 dollar bill money from 1934 featuring US President William McKinley. In the vibrant landscape of modern pop art, the "Old 500 Dollar Bill- Red Limited Edition" emerges as a symbolic piece by Steve Kaufman, also known by his initials SAK. Kaufman, a distinguished figure in the street pop art scene, brings together the legacy of traditional Americana with the dynamic essence of graffiti artwork. This limited edition canvas is a hand-embellished oil paint HPM silkscreen print that radiates the artist's penchant for bold colors and impactful imagery. Created in 2003, this artwork is part of a signed and numbered series, denoting its exclusivity and collector's value. The piece features the front of the United States 500 dollar bill from 1934, with President William McKinley's likeness commanding the center. Kaufman's interpretation infuses this symbol of ancient economic stature with a modern twist, juxtaposing the historical value of the bill with the transient, often rebellious nature of street art. The canvas is described as being in perfect condition, suggesting that the quality of Kaufman's work is preserved, allowing the vivid hues and intricate details to stand out. By reimagining currency, a common element of pop art's critique of consumerism, Kaufman's piece speaks to the transformative power of art over the mundane. His use of silkscreen printing aligns with the techniques of pop art pioneers, while the hand-embellished oil paint brings a tactile dimension often found in the textures of street art. Steve Kaufman's "Old 500 Dollar Bill- Red Limited Edition" is a striking example of street pop art that bridges the gap between historical reverence and contemporary critique. It's an artwork that encapsulates the spirit of its time, reflecting on the value and symbolism of money through the lens of an artist who is equally comfortable with a spray can as with a paintbrush.
