ANDY WARHOL AND VALERIE SOLANAS AFTER THE JUNE 1968 SHOOTING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eANDY WARHOL. Original black-and-white Associated Press Wirephoto, early-generation press photograph. New York City, June 4, 1968. Approximately 8 × 10 inches. A two-panel AP image shows underground film producer Andy Warhol, 39, and actress Valerie Solanas, 28, in the immediate aftermath of Solanas's shooting of Warhol at his New York City office. Warhol appears in close-up wearing a polka-dot shirt and dark jacket; Solanas is shown at the police station where she was booked. A printed caption occupies the upper margin. Visible condition includes light handling wear, scattered surface marks, small marginal creases, and minor edge and corner wear; the verso has localized soiling and age toning, with a crease or handling fold near the lower edge. Approximate physical print dimensions: 10 × 8 in. (254 × 203 mm).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe recto caption reads in part: “NEW YORK, N.Y.—UNDERGROUND MOVIE PRODUCER ANDY WARHOL, 39, WAS IN CRITICAL CONDITION after being shot in his New York City office yesterday. Actress Valerie Solanas, right, is shown at the police station where she was booked on charges of felonious assault and possession of a deadly weapon. Miss Solanas, 28, a star in one of Warhol's films, surrendered to a policeman four hours after the shooting. Doctors gave Warhol a 50-50 chance of survival. (AP Wirephoto.)” The lower line reads “(130600TMS-stf-MJ)1968 (See AP wire story)” with the final characters partly difficult to distinguish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe verso bears a blue filing stamp reading “Folder: Andy Warhol,” “Received: 5 JUN 1968,” and “Published: D.M. 4\/C 5 June 1968,” with return-routing fields for the Daily Mirror library. A separate purple Associated Press Wirephoto stamp gives transmission and reproduction instructions, including “50 SQ. INS. AND UP TO 50 SQ. INS.,” “LARGER SIZES PRO RATA,” “ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOTO,” and “ORIGINALS $65.00 MINIMUM \/ OVER 50 SQUARE INCHES PRO RATA”; a large blue “1968” stamp and “DEAD” mark are also present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn June 3, 1968, Solanas shot Warhol and art critic Mario Amaya at Warhol's Factory studio on West 34th Street. Warhol survived after emergency surgery and a lengthy hospitalization, while Solanas surrendered later that day and was charged with felonious assault and possession of a deadly weapon. The attack became a defining event in Warhol's biography and in the history of the Factory's volatile downtown art and film milieu; Solanas's status as the author of the SCUM Manifesto and her earlier association with Warhol's circle further shaped the incident's cultural afterlife.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis print is significant not merely for depicting two recognizable figures but for preserving the AP's rapidly distributed visual report of a notorious act at the moment its outcome was still uncertain. The immediate caption, transmission language, newspaper receipt and publication entries, and library disposition mark make the object a tangible newsroom record of how the shooting reached the public.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProvenance: Distributed by Associated Press; From the Eric C.
