Dennis Hopper: Photographs, 1961-1967 (Limited Edition Boxed)

This edition is limited to 1,500 copies, all signed and numbered.

“I was doing something that I thought could have some impact someday. In many ways, it s really these photographs, that kept me going creatively” – Dennis Hopper

The sixties, in all their turbulence and revelation, have been documented many times over but the photographic recollections of actor/artist/director Dennis Hopper have set themselves decidedly apart. Now an undisputed icon of the era, Hopper captured some of the most intriguing moments of his generation with a keen and intuitive eye. At the epicenter of a cultural upheaval that would transform art, music, and politics, Hopper documented the likes of Tina Turner in the studio, Andy Warhol at his first West Coast show, Paul Newman on set, and Martin Luther King during the Civil Rights March from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama with equal insight and grace. These amazing images have been collected into a single extensive volume over a third of them never before published and all mined from Hopper s own personal archive. In evocative, remarkably personal photos, Hopper captured the performers, the politicians, and the poets who defined those incredible years. And at the center of this intimate overview are the artists and collectors who would ignite the Pop Art movement and create some of the most potent visual imagery of the 20th century.
