The Good Old Days

In 1969, Richard Avedon photographed Andy Warhol’s shooting scars in one of the most stark and unsettling celebrity portraits of the 20th century. The photos were taken in New York City on August 20, 1969. Warhol is depicted wearing a black leather jacket, with one hand placed across his abdomen, highlighting the “almost tangible wounds.” These powerful images have been described as a tragic and powerful documentation of the violence he endured, leaving him with permanent injuries and requiring him to wear a surgical corset for the rest of his life.
The scars were the result of life-saving surgeries after Warhol was shot and critically injured by radical feminist writer Valerie Solanas on June 3, 1968, at his studio, The Factory. Warhol was briefly declared dead at the hospital but was revived after a six-hour operation to repair damage to his stomach, liver, spleen, esophagus, and both lungs.
Not only did the attack affect Warhol’s physical health, but it also had an impact on his mental stability. After the incident, Warhol wrote in his 1968 biography: “When you hurt another person, you never know how much it pains. Since I was shot, everything is such a dream to me. I don’t know what anything is about. Like, I don’t know whether I’m alive or whether I died. I wasn’t afraid before. And having been dead once, I shouldn’t feel fear. But I am afraid. I don’t understand why.”
