Pop Art Icon Andy Warhol Comes to Asia With Singapore Show

Artist Andy Warhol, whose name is synonymous with the Pop Art movement, famously said “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes,” but his own legacy has lasted much longer than that.

It has been 25 years since he passed away, but people are still familiar with and adore his bold-colored portraits of famous people and his paintings of everyday objects like soup cans. His photo and printing techniques had some of the strongest influences on art in the 1960s, and Warhol was dubbed the founder of Pop Art for his many enduring contributions.

Now the “Andy Warhol: 15 Minutes Eternal” exhibition at the ArtScience Museum in Singapore aims to show what influence Warhol had. It features 260 paintings, drawings, film, sculpture and private collection pieces from the Andy Warhol Museum in the artist’s hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The exhibit is divided into four sections, which cover his early years, the Factory years, his playful use of exposures in photography and some of his final artworks.
