[QUOTE="Potteryplease, post: 10257408, member: 16407"]So I read this as a direct, nearly obscene retort to Andy Warhol. I'm trying to find another in its style but have failed to do so. Definitely could be a one-off, by anybody really, but could it be by someone famous? The box seems vintage 1960s based on my research, which fits Warhol's period. The erupting material is some kind of injectable foam, perhaps insulation, and then somehow painted black. The box feels full of it, as the whole 'sculpture' is rigid. Here's some interesting facts about Warhol's Brillo boxes: [URL]https://www.myartbroker.com/artist-andy-warhol/10-facts/10-facts-about-warhols-brillo-boxes[/URL] Thanks for any comments or leads on contexts or artists. 16" tall, found in an antique mall in Portland, Oregon [ATTACH=full]513930[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]513931[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]513932[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]513933[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
