        Andy Warhol (1928–87) was a founder of pop art and one of the 20th century’s most defining artists. He changed the way we look at ourselves and each other. He blurred the boundaries between the artificial and the real, the commercial and the cultural, the noteworthy and the trite. Warhol: Immortal celebrates his enduring influence.

安迪˙沃荷(Andy Warhol, 1928-87)是普普藝術先驅，也是20世紀中最具代表性藝術家之一。他改變了我們看自己及他人的方式，也模糊了虛偽和真實、商業及文化、高雅與通俗的界線。「沃荷:不朽傳奇」頌揚其深遠影響。

        More than anything else, Warhol was obsessed with people. His preoccupation is perhaps even more pertinent today, in an era of intense social networking, reality TV, and YouTube. His past words take on a prophetic status: ‘In the future, everybody will be world famous for 15 minutes.

更重要的是，沃荷對人著迷。「未來，每個人都有15分鐘成名的機會」，證明了他的想法與現今社群網站、真人實境秀和Youtube普及的時代不謀而合。

        The exhibition features Warhol’s portraits of friends, celebrities, socialites, politicians, and rock stars across multiple media – paintings, MTV videos, experimental films, screen prints, drawings, and magazine covers. Among them are the flamboyant, repetitive portraits that made him most famous. As he once said: ‘Isn't life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?

此展展出朋友、政商名流及搖滾巨星肖像，透過多媒體創作油畫、音樂錄影帶、實驗電影、絹印、素描畫及雜誌封面。他以色彩強烈及具重複性作品聞名。他曾說:「生命不就是一連串反覆出現的圖像所組成嗎？」

        Startling self-portraits from a 40-year period show the persona of Andy Warhol developing over time, until close to his death in 1987. He immortalized himself as much others – on canvas if not elsewhere. He once mused about being ‘reincarnated as a great big ring on Liz Taylor’s finger’ and another time quipped: ‘I never think that people die. They just go to department stores.

1987年，安迪‧沃荷逝世，這些令人驚艷的自畫像看出安迪沃荷四十年間的人格轉變，他和其他人一樣─就在畫布上。他曾若有所思地說：「死後想轉世成伊麗莎白˙泰勒手上的一只大戒指。」另一次調侃地說：「我從不認為人會死，他們只是去逛百貨公司。」
