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. Jointly presented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department and The Andy Warhol Museum, one of the four Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh, it is organised by The Andy Warhol Museum in collaboration with Hong Kong Museum of Art. It will be held from December 16, 2012 through to March 31, 2013.

The exhibition will have on display over 370 items from the collection of The Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh, including paintings, drawings, photographs and screen prints by Warhol, and archival objects and photos documenting his creative and famous life.
