Perrier Goes Pop with Warhol Art Bottles
Posted in: Uncategorized
It’s going to be a long, hot Warholian summer. Whether zipping down the street on a Warhol skateboard deck, pushing your Andy Warhol + Bugaboo stroller, or simply chatting on your iPhone wrapped in a Warhol snap case, you can pop open a Perrier and quench your thirst the Warhol way. The Nestlé-owned brand is celebrating 150 years of fizzy water with a series of limited-edition bottles (and in Europe, cans as well) inspired by the artist’s 1983 screen prints of Perrier bottles. Perrier tapped Paris-based graphic design studio Hartland Villa to design the new packaging, which also features a selection of Warhol quotes, including “Art is what you can get away with.” You can get away with some art by entering Perrier’s “Take Home a Warhol” sweepstakes, which runs through September 30: one lucky winner will take home “Space Fruit: Lemons,” a 1974 Warhol original.

Scouring the Globe: A Brillo Box Moment, at the Armory Show and Beyond
Posted in: Armory Show, Charles Lutz, fab
It is both surreal and disturbing to watch people–Very Important People, no less–stagger around an art fair carrying unwieldy cardboard boxes, but such was the scene at yesterday’s Armory Show preview, where a rapidly shrinking tower of the colorful crates made famous by Andy Warhol was there for the taking. And take they did. The flurry of grabbing, folding, and foreign accents was apropos, as this was “Babel (Brillo Stockholm Type)” (2013) by Charles Lutz. The work was commissioned for the fair by Eric Shiner, director of the Andy Warhol Museum. He also curated the special “Armory Focus: USA” section of the fair, which includes Gagosian Gallery, making its Armory debut with a booth wallpapered in Warhol–the man, the myth, the camouflage.
This outbreak of Brillo Box fever is not an isolated incident. Belgian furniture brand Quinze & Milan has inked the appropriate licensing paperwork with the Andy Warhol Foundation to produce the Andy Warhol Brillo Box pouf (at left), a cushy foam cube screen-printed with the Brillo logo. The stool-sculptures will be unveiled next month at MOST in Milan, but the online retailer Fab is now taking pre-orders at $425 a pop.

In 1977, all of the special people spent Halloween night at Studio 54 to celebrate Liza Minnelli‘s buzzy Broadway turn in The Act. Oscar Abolafia snapped this photo of a group of post-show revelers that included Andy Warhol (clutching a Playbill), Diana Vreeland, and Steve Rubell. The following year, Vreeland, then in the Costume Institute phase of her legendary career, joined Rubell to celebrate his 35th birthday and followed up with a thank you note that rather mysteriously enthused about his “adorable children.” The note and photo are among the Studio 54 memorabilia that will be auctioned tomorrow by Palm Beach Modern Auctions. In addition to photos from Rubell’s personal collection (including some Warhol Polaroids and the artist’s bronze dollar sign sculpture, estimated to fetch $30,000 to $50,000), there are V.I.P. drink tickets, party invitations, and a guestbook from the famed nightclub. The auction house has also studded the sale with some glam design pieces by the likes of Paul Evans, Vladimir Kagan, and Milo Baughman, whose sleek 1970s sectional comes with a revolving cocktail table: drink up and boogie down.
