1967 The Stable gallery opening, New York, 1963 In December 1963, Andy Warhol ordered a large number of pine boxes from the Havlicek Woodworking Company. These were destined to be used in the first project in his new studio, dubbed the Factory, which would be presented in his first ever sculpture show. In the early months of 1964, Warhol and his helpers would screen print the labels of famous consumer products on each box, creating facsimiles of the originals: Campbell's tomato juice, Del Monte peach halves, Heinz ketchup, Kellogg's cornflakes, Mott's apple juice, and, of course, Brillo pads. The Brillo boxes (there was both a yellow version and the iconic white) were the most memorable, and, with the earlier Campbell's soup lithos, count among of the most famous images in Warhol's oeuvres. Stacked in piles at New York's Stable Gallery, these boxes would help catapult Warhol into superstardom, and Brillo would become emblematic of that ascent. http://www.artbouillon.com/2013/02/that-brilliant-brillo-box-pops-debt-to.html Andy Warhol, Brillo box, 1964 pubblicità Campbell ani sessanta Andy Warhol, Campbell soup cans, 1962 Andy Warhol, Green Coca Cola bottles, 1962 Andy Warhol, Marylin, 1962 Andy Warhol, Eight Elvis, 1963, Silkscreen on canvas 1973 Andy Warhol Morte in America.
