Dennis Hopper: The Lost Album, to be shown at the Royal Academy of Arts next summer, is set to feature portraits of artists and actors, including Andy Warhol and Paul Newman.

The collection of more than 400 photos also includes records of historic social and political events, such as Martin Luther King’s march from Selma to Montgomery in 1965 (see below).

The archive was reportedly discovered in cardboard boxes at Hopper’s home following his death in 2010 aged 74.

Dennis Hopper: The Lost Album will run at the Royal Academy of Arts from 26 June-25 August 2014.

Hopper, who used a Nikon SLR, starred in cult classics such as Easy Rider, in 1969, and the 1986 movie Blue Velvet.
