About Ronnie Cutrone

Ronnie Cutrone was an American Neo-pop painter and nightclub impresario. He began his career as Pop Artist Andy Warhol's assistant before becoming known for his own paintings of cartoon characters. He was a performer with Warhol's Exploding Plastic Inevitable that also featured The Velvet Underground. Cutrone also helped run the New York City nightclub Mudd Club and later operated his own short term bar/dance club/cabaret space/tapas lounge nightclub called The Rubber Monkey at 279 Church Street in TriBeCa. His memories play a part in the history of punk rock book Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk by Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain. Their relationship ended when Cutrone reconciled with his first wife Gigi Williams in 1985. He became a go-go dancer and among his first gigs was at the Dom Club on St.
