**APC ART is pleased to present this extremely rare work — “Covid Dollar (Mickey Omicron Variant)” by Jeff Gillette.** Jeff Gillette is one of the most important conceptual voices in contemporary post-pop. His dystopian, anti-Disney, anti-consumerist language directly influenced Banksy - in fact, Banksy has openly stated that Gillette's 2010 Orange County exhibition "Dismayland" was the inspiration for Banksy's now-legendary Dismaland project. Gillette is - very literally - one of the direct seeds that helped produce one of the most iconic art-world moments of the past 20 years.
Gillette's work has consistently interrogated capitalism, poverty, mass imagery, corporate myth-making and the American dream. And nothing sums up that collision better than this piece - a silkscreen printed Mickey Mouse, infected, panicked, and mutating - on actual legal tender. This is pure American collapse in one of the most brilliant conceptual executions of the pandemic era.
This is the "Mickey Omicron Variant" edition - silkscreen in colors on an actual uncirculated U.S. $1 bill
- hand signed and numbered by the artist. From an extremely limited edition of only 100 works. These are extremely difficult to find on the secondary market today - collectors who have them rarely let them go.
The work will arrive professionally framed in an acrylic frame (framed dimensions 5"x 7"). The work is in hand and will ship immediately from the USA - and includes the original COA as issued directly from the studio of Jeff Gillette.
This is an exceptional investment-level opportunity to acquire a museum-grade conceptual work from one of the most important - and still vastly undervalued - artists of our time.
