Week of April 12 – Nuns

Andy had friends from all walks of life… including nuns!

The excerpt below is from his conversation with longtime friend and assistant Brigid Berlin who talks about Warhol and his time spent in the hospital after being shot by Valerie Solanas in June 1968:

“Remember how embarrassed you were in the hospital when the nuns saw you without your wings? And you started to collect things again. The nuns got you interested in collecting stamps, like you did when you were a kid…they got you interested in coins again too.”
