Originally one of five silkscreens painted in 1964, the 40-by-40-inch prints were stored in a stack at Warhol\u2019s New York studio, The Factory. <\/p>\n<p>According to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.artsy.net\/article\/artsy-editorial-wild-history-warhol-marilyn-set-fetch-200-million\">Artsy<\/a>, performance artist, Dorothy Podber stopped by and asked if she could \u201cshoot\u201d them, and he said yes, presuming she meant with a camera. Podber pulled out a revolver and shot all but the turquoise print in the forehead. <\/p>\n<p>Warhol had the four paintings restored and they became known as the \u201cShot Marilyns.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All five paintings have been sold for various amounts of money over the years. First, in 1967, the blue background painting sold for $5,000. The orange background sold for \u00a0$17.3 million in 1998, then\u00a0went to hedge fund manager Ken Griffin for a rumored $200 million-plus. <\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018Shot Sage Blue Marilyn\u2019\u00a0is the absolute pinnacle of American pop,\u201d Alex Rotter, chairman of\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.christies.com\/departments\/post-war-contemporary-art-74-1.aspx\">20th and 21st Century Art<\/a>\u00a0at Christie\u2019s, said of the piece. \u201cThe painting transcends the genre of portraiture, superseding 20th-century art and culture.
