On this day
On June 3, 1968, Andy Warholwas shot by the radical feminist Valerie Solanas. The artist was deemed clinically dead but Dr Giuseppe Rossi, who was working at Manhattan's Columbus Hospital that day, saved Warhol’s life on the operating table. Warhol gave the doctor a complete set of Campbell’s Soup II screenprints, as a token of gratitude.
