Artist context
About Ronnie Blaise Cutrone
Ronnie Cutrone (1948–2013) was an American painter recognized as a leading figure in the Neo-pop and Post-Pop movements. Born on July 10, 1948, Cutrone served as Andy Warhol's assistant at The Factory from 1972 to 1980, collaborating on paintings, prints, films, and conceptual projects. During this formative period, critics identified Cutrone's own emerging style as "Post-Pop," distinguished by his bold reimagining of iconic cartoon characters such as Woody Woodpecker, Felix the Cat, Snoopy, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, and the Pink Panther. Beyond the studio, Cutrone was a performer in Warhol's multimedia spectacle Exploding Plastic Inevitable alongside the Velvet Underground and Nico, and he played a notable role in New York's downtown nightlife, helping run the legendary Mudd Club and later operating his own venue, The Rubber Monkey, in Tribeca. His work is held in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Common works and media
Cutrone commonly worked in acrylic and oil painting on canvas, often at large scale, as well as silkscreen prints and works on paper. His signature subjects are cartoon characters — particularly Woody Woodpecker, Felix the Cat, Snoopy, Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and the Pink Panther — rendered in vibrant, Pop-inflected palettes. Collectors may also encounter his collaborative prints and films from the Warhol Factory period.
Market and appraisal context
Cutrone's paintings appear at auction primarily as large-format acrylic and silkscreen works featuring recognizable cartoon imagery. Valuation factors include provenance linked to the Warhol circle, the specific character depicted, scale, edition status for prints, condition, and exhibition history. Works from his peak Post-Pop period of the late 1970s through the 1980s tend to dominate the secondary market. Collectors should verify authenticity and confirm attribution, as Cutrone's style references popular imagery that also appears in commercial reproductions. Auction results from major houses provide the most reliable comparable data for appraisal purposes.
