ArtMuse shares a special episode "Shooting Andy Warhol: Valerie Solanas" from the Art of Crime Podcast. Solanas's story is a powerful counterpart to ArtMuse's Two Part Episode on Andy Warhol's superstar Edie Sedgwick.As host of Art of Crime Podcast Gavin Whitehead describes: "When Valerie Solanas moved to New York in the early-to-mid 1960s, she wanted nothing more than to become a writer. Within a few years, she approached perhaps the most admired—and reviled—artist in the United States, Andy Warhol, proposing that he produce her pipe-bomb of a play, Up Your Ass. Though promising at first, their relationship went south, and in 1968, Solanas walked into Warhol’s studio with the intention of shooting him dead".
