No assessment of the sixties would be complete without a look at Andy Warhol: artist, author, filmmaker, rock music producer, and celebrity. Warhol took the Pop Art sensibilities to its furthest extremes, single handedly breaking down the barriers between commercial and serious art. With his work in mass-produced art, documentary style movies, his defining of celebrity as an art form, and the drug-induced, fully documented, orgiastic parties he threw in his famed Factory, Andy Warhol became a major influence on the aesthetics of the decade. Andy Warhol's Index Book is a compilation of interviews, art inserts, pop-ups, photographs, recording discs, and descriptions of life at the Factory. In June 1968, Valarie Solanis, a minor "superstar" from the Factory, shot Warhol in the chest and abdomen for his refusal to produce a screenplay she had written. Though he survived the attack, he was never able to continue the extremist activities he so boldly embraced.
