Day 17 of 28 Days of Warhol:Well, we have appeared to have almost abandoned this Warhol extravaganza; however, I believe there is much more to say about Andy, which is why we shall continue this journey, despite tomorrow being March 1st. We will proceed, no matter how long it takes.
The photo to the left is of Andy's marred body after his attempted murder by actress Valarie Solanas. Andy almost died from the incident. He was pronounced "clinically dead" but the doctors managed to get his heart going again and 5 hours of intense surgery.
Solanas said she shot Warhol because he had too much control on her life. She also said "I just wanted him to pay attention to me. Talking to him was like talking to a chair." Talk about a motive.
