1712 North Crescent Heights: Dennis Hopper Photographs 1962–1968
This captivating collection showcases actor and artist Dennis Hopper’s intimate photographic chronicle of the 1960s counterculture, shot primarily from his home at 1712 North Crescent Heights Boulevard in Los Angeles. Between 1962 and 1968, Hopper captured iconic figures—Andy Warhol at the Ferus Gallery, Paul Newman at a civil rights march, Jane Fonda on film sets—alongside street protests, motorcycle gangs, and abstract urban landscapes. His unfiltered, snapshot-style compositions reflect the era’s radical energy and his friendships with the New Hollywood and pop art movements.
