Description
Andy Warhol quote in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
“In the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes” is probably Warhol’s most famous quote.
In 1968, Andy Warhol held his first exhibition outside the US, at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm. The line “In the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes” is thought to have been first spoken by Andy Warhol at that exhibition.
Photographer Nat Finkelstein claims credit for the expression, stating that he was photographing Warhol in 1966 for a proposed book. A crowd gathered trying to get into the pictures and Warhol supposedly remarked that everyone wants to be famous, to which Finkelstein replied, "Yeah, for about fifteen minutes, Andy." The phenomenon is often used in reference to figures in the entertainment industry or other areas of popular culture, such as reality television and YouTube.
An older version of the same concept in English is the expression "nine days' wonder", which dates at least as far back as the Elizabethan era.
