Yellow Brillo Soap Pads Box

Andy WARHOL (1928-1987) Yellow Brillo Soap Pads Box. Signed in the print. Mixed media sculpture (silkscreen ink and house paint), plywood. Andy Warhol’s Brillo Boxes are precise copies of commercial packaging. This is a replica of the original. While they fulfill the idea that art should imitate life, they also raise questions about how we identify and value something as art. If Warhol transformed a mundane commercial product into a work of art, how did that transformation happen? Considering Warhol made numerous Brillo Boxes and sold them to art collectors and museums, his can also be considered mass-produced consumer goods.
