This comprehensive survey exhibition traces the evolution of Dennis Hopper's artistic output and features key selections spanning his 60-year career in a range of media, including paintings, sculpture, photographs, and assemblages from the 1950s and '60s; paintings from the 1980s and '90s; graffiti-inspired wall constructions and large-scale billboard paintings from the 2000s; recent work, and film installations. MOCA's exhibit ends tomorrow, so I made plans for a day in downtown Los Angeles which began at Bottega Louie for lunch and ended in Little Tokyo. This installation was not to be missed. Seen here is Double Standard; Beverly Hills in the rear view mirror and looking east [along Route 66] thru what is now West Hollywood. For schedule of future shows, check http://www.moca.org/
