Who was Andy Warhol?
If you are familiar with Pop Art, then you will likely need no introduction to Andy Warhol as he was a leading figure in the visual art movement.
In 1968, Warhol was shot by radical feminist Valerie Solanas inside his studio and the wound was nearly fatal.
The incident had quite the impact on Warhol even after he recovered with him saying, "Before I was shot, I always thought that I was more half-there than all-there—I always suspected that I was watching TV instead of living life. People sometimes say that the way things happen in movies is unreal, but actually it's the way things happen in life that's unreal. The movies make emotions look so strong and real, whereas when things really do happen to you, it's like watching television—you don't feel anything. Right when I was being shot and ever since, I knew that I was watching television. The channels switch, but it's all television."
The events of the shooting did not take him out of the limelight though and he continued his work and exhibitions up until his death in 1987. His grave is at St. John the Baptist Byzantine Catholic Cemetery
