Andy Warhol: 15 Minutes Eternal

Legendary installation piece, Rain Machine

Warhol's Rain Machine was first unveiled at the Expo '70 Osaka United States Pavilion. It was born out of an attempt to combine cutting-edge technology with art. Even though the work was discarded due to deterioration after the end of Expo '70 Osaka, the improved version of Rain Machine later produced will be exhibited for the first time in Japan since Expo '70 Osaka.

* Rain Machine will be exhibited from Saturday, March 1 through Tuesday, May 6 next to the "Andy Warhol Café" (located at Tokyo City View observation deck, 52F, Roppongi Hills Mori Tower).
