Opening June 14 at during Zurich Art Weekend, “Warhol/Cutrone” explores the bold creative dialogue between Andy Warhol and his longtime collaborator Ronnie Cutrone. Curated by James Hedges, the exhibition runs through September 30, 2025, and brings together a striking mix of rarely seen Warhol Polaroids and Cutrone’s vibrant Post-Pop works.
Cutrone, a key figure at Warhol’s Factory from 1972 to 1982, didn’t just assist Warhol—he expanded the Pop Art vocabulary with his own sharp, cartoon-saturated style. Known for using iconic figures like Felix the Cat and Woody Woodpecker, Cutrone’s work tackled themes of authorship, cultural identity, and American iconography with wit and provocation. As he once said: “Say it loud and clear—if the whole world gets it, the art world will too.”
The show also features Cutrone’s 3D stereoscopic photos, offering an insider’s look at Factory life, and unseen Warhol Polaroids capturing Grace Jones, Keith Haring, and other icons.
Together, Warhol and Cutrone’s works challenge the boundaries between high and low culture—and redefine what Pop could be.
