Dennis Hopper Double Standard opens at MOCA today!

A survey show of artist/ actor Dennis Hopper opened today at the Geffen Contemporary in downtown L.A.  Artist/ Filmmaker Julian Schnabel curated this impressive exhibition & gave a talk about his selections & Hopper's body of work. I liked the pieces heavily influenced by Marcel Duchamp in his way of appropriating common objects.  The piece shown in the last photo is called "Bomb Drop" 1967-68 which was quite a statement as one enters the hall.  The self-portrait is beautiful as are the large-scale billboard paintings.  This is the first sighting of Jeffrey Deitch (in the yellow suit & his signature round glasses) as MOCA's new director - photo 1 seen here chatting with Julian Schnabel.  This show ends Sept. 26th, 2010.
