He is an icon of Pop culture and believed the future would grant each and every one of us 15 minutes of fame. He was as fascinated by the contemporary mass media as he was critical of them; so it was that US artist Andy Warhol collected printed matter from daily newspapers through comics to movie programs. From February 11 to May 13 the touring exhibition "Warhol: Headlines" will stop off at Museum für Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt/Main – and show us all the artist's works relating to the mass media.
