America Goes For Broke: Allegorical Currency Paintings

America Goes for Broke is an art exhibition you can visit any time you choose, just by turning the pages of this new book. Inside, discover Claude Buckley’s statement-making money paintings - in which the artist has depicted contemporary figures causing or experiencing the effects society and government pose upon citizens’ private lives and finances. The series actualizes a challenge taken up after the late industrialist and philanthropist Roger Milliken asked to see art depicting how the rich in America keep getting richer and the poor even poorer. Buckley’s art has become the visual financial statement of the nation’s condition.
