Pop Art 15 Minutes - art exhibition


This art exhibition is inspired by one of the most well-known pop art artists in the world - Andy Warhol. 

The pop art movement was seen as a "game changer" in Western modern art history. It emerged in the mid-1950s in the US and the UK intending to build a stronger link between art and popular culture. 

The exhibition in Chengdu's title Pop Art 15 Minutes was inspired by Warhol's quote: "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes." 

The exhibition invites seven artists from different fields to explore the pop art experience, and to explore the art movement's divergences in relation to changing cultural and social environments.
