«I wonder if he could have imagined becoming the most prominent artist of the last half century» said Joel Wachs president of the Andy Warhol Fondation for the Visual Arts in New York City. I wish he could have been here to see how his influence has permeated every aspect of our culture». Thomas Sokolowski director of the Andy Warhol Museum believes the pop artist would warm to modern technology: «He would have loved the Internet and he would have loved cell phones to be in constant contact with anyone» Sokolowski said. «And he would have found reality TV really interesting. He started it in a sense with his 15 minutes of fame notion as well as his notion that anyone could be a superstar».
