For those of you who don't know what a Brillo Box is, well, *this* is a brillo box. It was made famous (or infamous) by quack artist Andy Warhol who exhibited a brillo box and managed to get away with it. He wasn't even sued for copyright infringement. Indeed, the real designer of the brillo box, whose name escapes both me and most other people at the present time, reverently accepted a brillo box from the hands of Andy as a "great work of art". Come again?
At one point, Warhol sent some of his "paintings" to his family in Czechoslovakia. The non-artistic family didn't understand that the colourful pieces of sheet were supposed to be works of art, so their kids cut them into pieces!
Andy should have sent his family a brillo box instead...complete with the soap pads. I mean, it might have come in handy at such a godforsaken place as Mikova in eastern Slovakia.
Personally, I never use brillo. I give it five stars anyway. For the soap, obviously. And even for the design. After all, design *is* an artform, although some Philosophers Of Art deny it. Andy's appropriation of the box, on the other hand, is just pathetic. It could have worked if made as light entertainment, but apparently Andy Pandy meant it seriously.
Then, one Valerie Solanas shot him.
Action art, I suppose.
