Five cities in Asia are to be hit by pictures of canned soup, a hamburger and a colorful representation of Chairman Mao, apparently wearing lipstick, over the next two years.
The artworks are traveling as part of the “Andy Warhol: 15 Minutes Eternal” exhibition, the biggest retrospective on Warhol’s work ever to be shown in Asia.
Warhol, who died in 1987, is famous for declaring: “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.”
The show will start at Singapore’s ArtScience Museum at the Marina Bay Sands hotel on March 17, 2012, and will then travel to Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing and Tokyo before it ends some time in 2014.
Specific date and venue details for the other cities have not yet been released.

A Formula One tycoon has teamed up with Dutch airline KLM to pioneer a spacecraft that will fly passengers to any city in the world within two hours.
Michiel Mol, 42, a Dutch multimillionaire e-businessman, co-owner of the Force India F1 team and co-founder of the project, Space Expedition Curacao (SXC), says he has already sold 35 tickets — at AU$ 97,000 (US$ 94,700) each — for rides in early versions of the craft.
