Portrait of The Gazillionaire

Portrait of The Gazillionaire made from USA dollar bills currently hanging in Absinthe’s Hallucinator.

Mark Wagner is best known for his intricate collages made entirely from deconstructed US dollars. Wagner destroys thousands of bills yearly to create works which pointedly and playfully explore the intersection of wealth, power, value, and American identity. Wagner’s work is collected by dozens of institutions including the Smithsonian Institution, and Museum of Modern Art.
