When filmmaker Lisanne Skyler was a baby, an Andy Warhol “Brillo Box” sculpture served as a coffee table, until her father traded it for a drawing by Peter Young. The HBO Documentary Film Brillo Box (3¢ off), an of cal selection of the 54th New York Film Festival, tracks the remarkable journey of an iconic Andy Warhol sculpture from one family’s living room through the global art market, exploring the ephemeral nature of art and value.
