An original "Hinge" Series painting (c. 1984, spray paint and acrylic) created by Dennis Hopper.

Accompanied by the exhibition poster, which depicts the painting.

Hopper became very interested in graffiti in the 1980s, eventually shooting a series of polaroids he titled "Colors" in 1987. The following year he would direct his first Hollywood film since the disastrous reception of The Last Movie (Universal Pictures, 1971), which he would title the same: Colors (Orion Pictures, 1988). The "Hinge" Series represents an early effort of Hopper's to combine spray paint with his more usual acrylics.
