Proliferation, differentiation, amplifi cation In the frontispiece to the catalogue for his exhibition at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm between 10 February and 17 March 1968, Andy Warhol observed that: ‘In the future everybody will be world famous for fi fteen minutes.’ In 1979, he added: ‘I’m bored with that line. I never use it anymore. My new line is, “In fi fteen minutes everybody will be famous” ’ (Warhol & Colacello 1979: 48).
