Dennis Hopper and the New Hollywood
The recent death of Hollywood rebel and icon Dennis Hopper made the recent exhibition of art from his private collection at ACMI that much more topical. Mind you with artists such as Warhol, Ruscha, Lichtenstein and Basquiat represented, not to mention some of Hopper’s own work, it was always going to be interesting. If you missed it you can catch up with the catalogue, available on the browsing shelves in Arts.
