During the 1960s, Dennis Hopper carried a camera everywhere - on film

sets and locations, at parties, in diners, bars and galleries, driving on freeways

and walking on 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. A reluctant icon

at the epicenter of that decade's cultural upheaval, Hopper documented

the likes of Tina Turner in the studio. Andy Warhol at his first West Coast show,

Paul Newman on set, and Martin Luther King during the Civil Rights March

from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. From a selection of photographs compiled

by Hopper and gallerist Tony Shafrazi - more than a third of them previously

unpublished - this extensive volume distills the essence of Hopper's brilliantly

prodigious photographic career . Also included are introductory essays

by Tony Shafrazi and legendary West Coast art pioneer Walter Hopps , and an

extensive biography by journalist Jessica Hundley . With excerpts from Victor

Bockris 's interviews of Hopper's famous subjects, friends, and family, this volume

is an unprecedented exploration of the life and mind of one of America's most

fascinating personalities.
