15 minutes Eternal

Hey guys!!! Long time no see, so it's really been a while. And today is not going to be about me, it's about my SPM presentation. See for yourselves. Comment, Criticize, Ignore, or just love it.
To Be Honest, some are from Wikipedia, some informations are from the little booklet I got, but iI don't think it affects anything because it's still presentation

But I always say, one's a company, two's a crowd, and three's a party

One of the most known and my absolute favourite quote, said by a world-known pop artist.

Remember the colourful Marilyn Monroe in out art textbooks? And idea who drew the Campbell Soup Can Series logos?

I met this artist in the Art Museum of Hong Kong. There’s a temporary exhibition, named “15 minutes eternal”, quoted by the the widely used expression "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes." coined by Andy Warhol, who said in 1968.

As a side note, while I was walking my way through the exhibition, a girl said to her friend, “Why, everybody can be famous for 15 minutes…on the internet.”

Andrew Warhola, born on August 6, 1928 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is an American artist who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity culture and advertisement that flourished by the 1960s. After a successful career as a commercial illustrator, Warhol became a renowned and sometimes controversial artist. 

When Andy Warhol graduated from university, he moved to New York City to pursue a career as a commercial artist. With his talent and skill, he became one of the most successful illustrators of the 1950s.

The 1960s is a significant period of Warhol’s career. He debuted the concept of "pop art"—paintings that focused on commercial goods. In 1962, he exhibited the now-iconic paintings of Campbell's soup cans. These small canvas works of everyday consumer products created a major stir in the art world, bringing both Warhol and pop art into the national spotlight for the first time. And not to forget, one of his masterpieces, the most widely-known portrait, Marilyn.

In 1964, Warhol opened his own art studio, a large silver-painted warehouse known simply as "The Factory." The Factory quickly became one of New York City's premier cultural hotspots, the scene of lavish parties attended by the city's wealthiest socialites and celebrities.

Throughout the 1970s, hundreds of portrait commissions ensued as Warhol’s vast social network grew. These portrait became one of his main sources of income. Each portrait began with a Polaroid photo shot which was then made into a silkscreen. Warhol also made a large number of self-portraits alongside his portraits of celebrities. Warhol began expanding into new artistic mediums. Warhol experimented extensively with video art, producing more than 60 films. Some of his most famous films include Eat, which shows a man eating a mushroom for 45 minutes.  And also Empire, a silent, black and white, consists of eight hours and five minutes of continuous slow motion footage of the Empire State Building in New York City. He then commented: “The Empire State Building is a beauty.”

Warhol reaches the pinnacle of success in the art world in the early 1980s. He then went through the stage memento mori. Warhol died in New York City on February 22, 1987.

There’s another unique thing in the life of Andy Warhol which amazed me. In 1973, Warhol began saving ephemera from his daily life— letters, magazines, photographs, newspapers, souvenirs, childhood objects, even used plane tickets and food—which was sealed in plain cardboard boxes dubbed Time Capsules.  Warhol created 612 Time Capsules in over two decades.
