Best Answer

Andy Warhol's obsession with mortality took a morbid turn in 1968 when he was almost fatally shot by Valerie Solanas. Compelled by that near-death experience, Warhol (1923 - 1987) created several artworks, including his "Guns" series, duplicating Solanas' revolver. Utilizing his signature technique of reproducing multiple images of an instantly recognizable cultural symbol, the gun appears to be lethal, even though no one is holding it.
