Art Doc: Brillo Box (3 Cents Off)

In 1969, Lisanne Skyler’s parents bought an Andy Warhol “Brillo Box (3¢ Off)” sculpture for $1,000. An exact replica of a shipping carton for Brillo soap pads, Warhol’s Brillo Boxes were at first dismissed by the art world. But 40 years later, the same piece sold for more than $3 million at a record-breaking Christie’s auction.
