Andy Warhol (August 6, 1928 – February 22, 1987) was an American artist who was a leading figure in the
visual art movement known as pop art.

It is great to have an exhibition of many Andy's works in Hong Kong. The most popular works of Andy should be
Marilyn Monroe
and Campbell's soup. In the exhibition in Hong Kong, I can look at the
works of Andy in the shortest distance and attentively for a long
time, particularly the picture of Monroe (Norma Jeane) in her different colours.







Andy Warhol: 15 Minutes Eternal represents the largest touring
exhibition of the works of the foremost figure of America’s Pop Art movement in
the 20th century – Andy Warhol (1928 – 1987). It will look at Warhol’s
successful career in both commercial art and fine art between the 1950s and the
1980s and explore his concept of art making as well as his sensibilities towards
contemporary living and culture.




The exhibition is held in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon.

Time should be grasped without delay and excuse.












Photo-taking is not allowed inside the exhibition hall.

She died at the age of thirty six. It must be a pity.
From her birth certificate http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Marilyn_Monroe_Birth_Certificate.jpg, her father was not Clark Gable. This was a rumour only.

Campbell's soup and Monroe seem to be the representatives of Andrew. There are also many masterpieces for children.
