Dennis Hopper's Venice property is back on the market

"Hopper commissioned the industrial-style main residence as a place to display his artwork, and he lived there for more than 20 years. James Dean, with whom Hopper appeared in "Rebel Without a Cause" (1955) and "Giant" (1956), encouraged him to take up photography, which he displayed at the compound along with painting and sculpture."

"The corrugated-steel-clad main house, built in 1987, has 4,900 square feet of living space. The town houses, built in 1981, range from 1,143 to 1,330 square feet. The 15,500-square-foot lot includes a pool house and a 1909 bungalow-style cottage of 1,355 square feet."

"He appeared in more than 100 films throughout his nearly six decade career including the 1964 counterculture classic "Easy Rider," which he also directed. Hopper died in May 2010 at 74."

Dennis Hopper's Venice compound, originally commissioned as an art display residence, has been renovated and relisted at $5,995,000. The property includes a 4,900-square-foot corrugated-steel main house designed by Brian Murphy in 1987, three Frank Gehry-designed town houses from 1981 ranging from 1,143 to 1,330 square feet, a pool house, and a 1909 cottage. Hopper lived at the compound for over 20 years, displaying his photography, paintings, and sculptures alongside his extensive film career spanning nearly six decades. The renovation addressed kitchens, bathrooms, and landscaping. Jade Mills and Jane Gavens of Coldwell Banker Previews International handle the listing.
