Dennis Hopper Collection Goes Under The Hammer

Dennis Hopper Portrait by Andy Warhol

Christie’s New York is presenting The Dennis Hopper Collection. Unknown to his many fans, Hopper was an artist, a filmmaker, an actor, and a passionate art collector of contemporary art. He amassed more than 250 works throughout his lifetime. His well rounded and often cutting edge choices included prime examples of the world’s foremost Post-War & Contemporary artists, including Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Robert Rauschenberg, John Baldessari, and Julian Schnabel. Thirty-five works from the Collection will be offered at the Christie’s New York Post-War & Contemporary Evening and Day Sales in New York on November 10 and 11, 2010.
