Comes in its original cassette. Personally signed by dennis hopper. During the 1960s, dennis hopper (1936–2010) carried a camera everywhere—on film sets and locations, at parties, in diners, bars and galleries, driving on freeways, and walking in political marches. He photographed movie idols, pop stars, writers, artists, girlfriends, and complete strangers. Along the way he captured some of the most intriguing moments of his generation with a keen and intuitive eye. From a selection of photographs compiled by hopper and gallerist tony shafrazi—more than a third of them previously unpublished—this collector’s edition distills the essence of hopper’s prodigious photographic career, documenting the likes of tina turner in the studio, andy warhol at his first west coast show, paul newman on set, and martin luther king jr.
