Brillo Boxes

Brillo Boxes are designed packaging for Brillo steel wool soap pads, recognizable by their simple, white, corrugated cardboard exterior. Created by artist Andy Warhol in the 1960s, they became famous as a form of pop art by mimicking everyday commercial products. Warhol's Brillo Box artworks challenge viewers to consider the boundary between commercial packaging and art, highlighting themes of consumer culture and mass production. They are influential in art history for blurring the lines between ordinary objects and fine art, prompting discussions about originality, authenticity, and the role of commercial products in artistic expression.
