. Their house at 1712 North Crescent Heights Boulevard, in the Hollywood Hills, which they crammed with vanguard art and campy treasures, was known as the Prado of Pop, a place Warhol compared to an amusement park. It was itself a kind of installation piece, a collaborative life-as-art experiment that happened to be a family home.
Hopper wanted to bring Geldzahler to Foster & Kleiser, the commercial-billboard factory on Washington Boulevard at Vermont Avenue, a regular stop on the Hopper tour of L.A. The Antwerp-born, voraciously social Geldzahler was among the few curators willing to stick his neck out for Pop art, as Hopper and Hayward had been doing with their collecting. The connection between billboards and Pop was self-evident.
Hopper took about a dozen pictures of Geldzahler at the billboard factory, and then, while driving west on Hollywood Boulevard near Musso & Frank Grill, he and Geldzahler encountered the weird spectacle of a woman lying in the middle of the street. This Hopper photograph would become known as “Untitled .” Hopper then popped a few shots of the gregarious, baby-faced Geldzahler riding shotgun, wind riffling his hair, laughing.

Double Standard
Meh
Who is behind ,What is behind chasing u ? Is there someone who is bothering u ?!; Plz tell
Looks like an unintentional shutter click to me.
Fabulous photo. I was going guess this the intersection of Melrose, Doheny and SMB and I was right! Incidentally, that intersection is about to look much much much different
If he wasn’t an actor as well, he’d be considered one of the great photographers.
Is it art?
Brilliant! The older car in the rear view mirror also added a nice nostalgic touch. A twilight zone moment.
Great print
What the fuck are these replies
What a shame. Scammers on your tweet.
I wonder who inspired who first-- Ruscha or Hopper?
One of the most important aspects of the good photography is mindfulness. This picture wasn’t good luck. Hopper was able to see it, to understand it in an instant, and to capture it straight away. That is an incredible talent. It shows real clarity of mind.
📸 Hooper no solo es un enorme actor, es un artista visual sofisticado y que supo leer su época y construirnos relatos como esta hermosa e icónica fofotgrafía
Pretty sure this is a Hedda Hopper photograph…
The ugliest eyesore that mankind has ever created are power lines, which Dennis Hopper so simply captured in this photo.
A good one 👍
CopelandColette I find the tireless American shameless self promotion tiresome, especially the celebration of the mundane.
Lawrence So LA
Lawrence This is my favorite Dennis Hopper picture. It's called 'Billy Gives Trump the One-Finger Salute' QMorons MagaMorons Insurrectionist
Lawrence 'In the spring of '61' Was it smog or June Gloom?
nice
Yes I knew it as soon as I saw it that’s Er, umm…?
Double standard indeed
That’s a lot of narrative drama for what is ostensibly an iPhone snap.

One of the great photographers of all time.
Where is the intersection?
Excellent shot!

It gives us a glimpse of what it looked like decades ago.
_AndresDElia Hopper. What a mastermaker! No dejen de ir nunca al Whitney si pasan por NYC.
Love Russo’s book…
Awesome snap!
Gas is 30.9 cents and it also on Route 66. Has to be Santa Monica Blvd and Melrose.
