Pin Money 1995

"Pin Money" is a 1995 painting by American artist Mark Kostabi, known for his signature style of bold, cartoonish figures. The piece is a playful commentary on the pursuit of wealth and its perceived power. A large, blue, cartoon-like figure sits on a ledge, clutching two bags of "pin money" ($$). The scene is filled with other whimsical elements: a flying angel, a house with a bomb, and a field of electrical cords, adding to the playful, almost absurdist tone of the work.
