"Fifteen Minutes of Fame"
The expression was coined from Andy Warhol, who said that "In the
future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes", which appeared in
the program for a 1968 exhibition of his work at the Moderna Museet in
Stockholm, Sweden. The phenomenon is often used in reference to figures
in the entertainment industry or other areas of popular culture, such as
reality TV and YouTube. As things have turned out the rise of
celebrity culture and reality television since then has shown Warhol to
be quite prophetic.
