The "Brillo box" was a work that prompted art to become an object of thought.
In 1964, Andy Warhol unveiled a work crafted from wooden boards that replicated the packaging of the American scouring pad "Brillo." The "Brillo box," reproduced with uncanny realism through silkscreen, garnered significant attention for questioning whether it was a work of art.
Since the early 1960s, Warhol had been mass-producing familiar objects known to all Americans—Campbell's soup cans, Coca-Cola bottles, dollar bills—using silkscreen techniques. The "Brillo box" by the pop art master was a piece that initiated art's transition from being merely an object of appreciation to an object of contemplation.
MEDICOM TOY has previously released numerous items inspired by Warhol's work. In December 2020, they launched "BE@RBRICK ANDY WARHOL "Brillo" 100% & 400% / 1000%," which depicted the "Brillo box" across its entire body using water printing. In October 2021, a ceramic "CERAMICK Andy Warhol Brillo box," crafted by a renowned pottery studio in Kagoshima and featuring lot numbers, was released at 2G TOKYO and 2G OSAKA. Both items sold out.
