My dad was friends with a prominent art collector near Aspen years ago. Still friends with his son. The climate controlled underground mansion was full of Warhol, Dali, ect. I’ve seen so many of these works in person, the Marilyn’s, Elvis, Dalis flour sack pay phone, a naked girl sprouting out of an ear of corn. Brillo pad display was in the living room. Warhol even did one of the owners wife, Kimiko. When he passed in 1999, Kimiko began selling several of these famous pieces off. Last I heard, Elvis went for 30 million. My parents have an autographed Denver art show poster of Elvis in their basement,

I remember going to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art I believe in 1962 and seeing the Brillo pad show, it was in The Traveling Show pot of the museum if I recall correctly, I thought it was rather interesting, and of course she went on to make a expensive reputation

how could he use a trademarked logo and sell this art without copyright infringement.

Copyright works differently for mass production. Even if they would have charged him it could only have been a nickel for the five faces. When you are a graphic designer for a company they may have you "sell" your intellectual property symbolically for a dollar, so Brillo, Chore Boy, and Chex Mix you just get paid a salary for. They would never pay you per unit, but if you wanted to look at it like that you would go insane thinking about hoe many millions of times ones design has been printed, amounting to millionths of cents per. So, if they had given Warhol a bill, they might have expected a larger bill from him for what we now call product placement. The same as if his photographs of people by a sink with a Brilo box just sitting there.. In reality, this was art for money laundering sake. Some of the first mass produced screenprints he did was a dollar bill.

oh as an artist i also "love" ( not) how people have these stories and all the meanings of things etc.... i mean artists usually create something because they had an idea to try it. All the thoughtfullness usually is a after thought mostly to tell people at gallery shows... They cant just say they simply thought it looked good can they ...lol

This^. I read somewhere that art without meaning is just decoration. Well Warhol painted the Campbell's Soup can just because he liked the soup. No extra super thoughtful meaning, no extravagant story, no heartfelt reason other than he just liked the soup. It's one of the main reasons why I loved his work. He just painted what he wanted and the art community gobbled it all up and created their own meanings behind his work (not all his work but a lot). The thought of that all art must have meaning is absurd. A good portion of my work has meaning but some do not. Why can't artists just paint something because they liked it, or thought it was cool. When I show art at an art show, I believe my audience would rather hear something more natural and in the moment rather than a scripted story. PLUS, art is subjective. So why would my meaning really matter if my audience relates to the piece in their own way. That's what I find waaay more interesting in art really. I'd rather paint something I like and see how my audience reacts to it. It's my visual aesthetic communication. So how will my audience respond is the exciting part.

@@robert84_ Yes wow 2 years later lol. I paint flowers because they are pretty and I enjoy exploring the colors. I paint pets because that is what people ask and pay me to do. I paint old houses because I like them and find the architecture interesting. I paint dancers because I love the costumes and how strong and beautiful thief bodies and poses are . none of these answers and reasons would captivate or sell anything but it would be the truth. I know many artist's who keep painting versions of their same style because that us what people buy not that there is some extravagant story driving them to paint and repaint in different colors that same thing ...BUT B.S makes people feel smart. I mean they talked someone into buying a duct taped banana so who am I to argue I guess lol

Listening to them talk about the Brillo box in their clipped English accents makes what they say sound so grandiose over a rather banal piece of "art" (however, I know that in 1964 this was quite original) Andy just makes me sick.
