Dollar RIP is a 2018 mixed-media artwork by Paris-based artist Pascal Boyart. Created using acrylic paint and authentic torn U.S. dollar bills affixed to a wooden panel, the piece exemplifies Boyart’s signature fusion of classical technique and political commentary. By physically deconstructing real currency, Boyart invites viewers to question the value we assign to money—both symbolically and materially—in a rapidly evolving economic landscape.

Referencing the rise of decentralized finance and the fragility of fiat systems, Dollar RIP aligns with Boyart’s broader interest in cryptocurrency and financial autonomy. The work stands as a bold visual metaphor for collapse, transformation, and the search for alternatives beyond traditional monetary structures.
