New York’s Stable Gallery held the 1964 exhibition where Andy Warhol showed his Brillo Boxes.
The Stable Gallery, founded by Eleanor Ward, became an important venue for avant-garde art in mid-century New York. Warhol’s exhibition there presented sculptures modeled on commercial cartons, including Brillo boxes and other branded packages, making everyday retail design the subject of gallery display.
The presentation helped establish Warhol as a leading Pop artist. Visitors encountered objects that looked like ordinary products but had been deliberately fabricated as artworks. This tension between appearance and context became central to later discussions about how viewers identify something as art.
The gallery is sometimes confused with Leo Castelli Gallery, which represented many major American artists and was also closely connected with Pop Art. Warhol’s 1964 Brillo Box exhibition, however, was held at the Stable Gallery.
