The curator Andy Warhol Museum Eric Shiner,  also said that it was a peak of his  career.

In the future, everyone would be famous for 15 minutes

Warhol was a prophet of our time. Long before reality television was invented, he said that in the future, everyone would be famous for 15 minutes. Long before today's celebrity culture, Warhol saw famous people as inherently fascinating, and many of the black and white photographs that are about to go on sale are slick snapshots of famous friends including John Lennon, Mick Jagger and Debbie Harry.
In his book POPism, he explains the importance of such tactics in creating a blue chip reputation – so he might be genuinely shocked to see that his art will be sold on a website called 1stdibs. If, that is, he even considered it to be art.
