The artwork named “Brillo Soap Pads” was created by the renowned artist Andy Warhol in 1969. It belongs to the Pop Art movement and is classified as an installation.
The artwork depicts a large, three-dimensional replica of a commercial Brillo Soap Pads box. The cube-shaped structure is adorned with the familiar branding and packaging details associated with Brillo products, including bold red and blue lettering on a white background. Prominent text elements such as “24 GIANT SIZE PKGS,” “SHINES ALUMINUM FAST,” and “Brillo soap pads with rust resistor” are distinctly visible, highlighting its commercial and utilitarian origins. This work encapsulates Warhol’s fascination with consumer culture and mass production, manifesting an everyday object into high art through its meticulous, lifelike representation.
