5. Kosuth’s display of uniform panels and repeated forms with minor variations seemed to directly acknowledge the precedent of Andy Warhol’s 1962 Ferus Gallery show of soup cans. More pointedly, Titled also contained one panel with a quotation from Warhol instead of from a dictionary: “In the future everybody will be famous for fi fteen minutes.” A striking punctum in the series, that panel seems to ask the viewer to supply the word for which Warhol’s phrase would serve as a defi nition. It also underscores the cold war shadow of Warhol’s comment and the
existential threat of “nothing” behind the funereal black of Kosuth’s panels: fifteen minutes was the widely cited time offi cials believed a Russian nuclear missile would take to reach the continental United States.
