DENNIS HOPPER & THE ART WORLD

Throughout the '60s, Hopper photographed his friends in Hollywood and in the Art World, like Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol. And he also became an avid art collector. "I bought Andy Warhol’s first soup can painting for $75," Hopper said, "and I bought a Roy Lichtenstein, 'The Sinking Sun,' for $1,100 out of Roy’s studio. That sold last year for $17,870,000."

Wow!!!

I have Hopper as a voice on my GPS as a download I got from www.navtones.com but I think I will have to buy a painting of his or something!

Hopper is a legend and I can't help but to bye things he has done (hence the GPS voice)but I have never come across any of his artwork?
