Valerie Jean Solanas was an unusual woman and artist. Her work was so radically feminist and pornographic that even Andy Warhol refused to publish it. The two collaborated on other ventures, but Solanas, perhaps suffering from paranoid schizophrenia, grew increasingly agitated and angry with Warhol. On the morning of June 3, 1968, she waited outside of Warhol’s studio. When he arrived with two others, she pulled a pistol and began firing. Warhol survived, but never fully recovered. He refused to testify against Solanas, who received a three year sentence for attempted murder.
