When visiting Andy Warhol's studio The Factory Dorothy Podber saw the recently completed paintings of Marilyn's stacked against one another. She asked Warhol if she could shoot them. Believing that she intended to photograph the paintings, Warhol agreed.
Podber doffed her pair of black gloves, withdrew a small revolver from her purse, and fired a shot into the stack of four paintings, which became known as The Shot Marilyns.
All the best, Gerard
