A wrapped $50 stack of ARTCASH, comprised of two “ones” by Andy Warhol, and two $24 bills by Tom Gormley.  ARTCASH was a benefit party held by Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.) in 1971.  E.A.T asked artists to design currency to be purchased and used by attendees during the casino style event.  The bills were printed by the American Banknote Company on the same stock used for U.S. currency (though without the anti-counterfeit threads).  From the Steven Leiber Extra Art Archive. -ar
