Tonight in New York, the Gagosian Gallery (980 Madison Avenue) will be presenting work from the late Dennis Hopper that has not been exhibited in the United States since 1970. The Lost Album includes photographs from the legendary American actor, filmmaker and artist taken during a period of time that sees him traveling from from Los Angeles to Harlem to Tijuana capturing the establishment-busting spirit of the 1960s. Over 400 photos will be exhibited including portraits the likes of Tina Turner, Andy Warhol, and Martin Luther King, Jr., Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, Jane Fonda, Paul Newman, John Wayne, James Brown, The Byrds, Jefferson Airplane, and more, as well as stirring images of the Civil Rights Movement.
