Synopsis
In 1969, Lisanne Skyler's parents bought an Andy Warhol "Brillo Box (3? Off)" sculpture for $1,000. Exact replicas of the shipping cartons for Brillo soap pads, Warhol's Brillo Boxes were at first dismissed by the art world. But 40 years later, with Warhol's reputation as a contemporary art visionary long secured, the same piece sold for more than $3 million at a record-breaking Christie's auction.
Blending humorous family narrative with Pop Art history and including insights from high-profile figures in the contemporary art world, the HBO Documentary Film Brillo Box (3? Off) follows an iconic work as it makes its way from a New York family's living room to the contemporary global art market, exploring the ephemeral nature of art and value, and the decisions that shape family history.
