Date
The American painter, film-maker and pop artist created the Factory, a studio where artists could meet.
Artists like Valerie Solanas, who made herself famous for 15 minutes when she shot him.
The self-proclaimed lead of SCUM (an acronym perhaps for ‘Society for Cutting Up Men’) fired and fled.
Her shooting wasn’t fatal but Warhol never recovered and Solanas was never famous again.
