«I LIKE EVERYBODY'S ART»

The world lost a charismatic, rebellious and talented artist when Dennis Hopper died last weekend at 74. He is recognized for dozens of film roles, including Easy Rider, Apocalypse Now, Blue Velvet and Speed. And when he wasn't performing in front of the camera, Hopper spent much of his time behind a camera lens, snapping photographs. Andy Warhol, Martin Luther King Jr., Dean Stockwell, Bill Cosby, Ed Ruscha, Robert Rauchenberg -- these are just a few of the artists, actors and political figures who appear in Hopper's stunning portraits. Some of these works will be on display at Dennis Hopper Double Standard, a retrospective of Hopper's visual art opening July 11 at Los Angeles' Museum of Contemporary Art. Curated by Julian Schnabel, it will feature more than 200 photographs, sculptures, paintings and other pieces.
