Dennis Hopper, whose 55-year movie career included memorable performances in “Easy Rider,” “Apocalypse Now” and “Blue Velvet,” was also an accomplished, versatile artist. Yet few Americans have had a chance to see the late actor’s work -- until now.
The first major Hopper retrospective at a U.S. museum is on display at Los Angeles’ Museum of Contemporary Art through Sept. 26. Titled “Dennis Hopper Double Standard,” the exhibition at MOCA’s warehouse-like Geffen Contemporary space is curated by artist Julian Schnabel, who was a friend of Hopper’s.
