15 Minutes Eternal


"In the future, everybody will be world-famous for 15 minutes."
- Andy Warhol -

Went to check out the Andy Warhol 15 Minutes Eternal exhibition at the Power Station of Art. Everyone knows his Marilyn Monroes and Campbell's Soup cans. But it was interesting to learn of his early works and see his progression to eventually become an icon of pop art and pop culture.

It was my first time to the Power Station, and I was amazed with the space. As the name implies, the museum was originally a power plant built in 1897, and was converted as one of the pavilions during the 2010 Shanghai World Expo.
