Title: Like Fame, This Pop Box is Interesting for Only 15 Minutes
Review: If you're looking for something of substance about the life & artwork of Andy Warhol or even just a time capsule that captures some of the essence of the Silver Factory era, this isn't it. This "Pop Box" is really just an assortment of less-than-authentic looking reproductions of Warhol's personal correspondence & various other flashy gewgaws, all of whose novelty wears thin within seconds after viewing them. Maybe on an artistic level this collection might have worked if the publisher had made more of an effort in trying to make the contents look authentic rather than just settling for the cheesy looking knock-offs that we were presented with. On the other hand I do think this collection would make a nice introduction for youngsters (maybe combined with Lou Reed & John Cale's excellent Warhol tribute CD "Songs for Drella") who are just starting to learn about Andy Warhol and Pop Art, but that's about it.
Is the review positive or negative?
