Is it possible to distinguish the style of materially indiscernible works of art? What is, for example, the difference in style among A. Warhol’s Brillo Box, the original Brillo box designed by J. Harvey, and the Brillo boxes which appeared in an exhibition by the appropriationist artist M. Bidlo? In the wake of Borges’ Pierre Menard, author of the Quixote, the author re-examines the definition of "style" offered in his previous work, The Transfiguration of the Commonplace.
Keywords: Art Criticism, Commercial Art, Indiscernible, Object, Style, Transfiguration, Work of Art.
