Auctioned Artwork Owned By Late Dennis Hopper Went For Over $10 Million

He had some pretty rare and important pieces in his possession.

As Dennis Hopper has passed, his collection of artwork was auctioned off this weekend at Christie's in New York. Of the over 40 pieces sold off, there were some rare paintings that went for a lot of money including a portrait of the actor by Andy Warhol and works by Robert Graham and British graffiti artist Banksy. In the end, the Hopper estate made over $10 million off of the lot.

There is said to be another auction of Hopper's artwork in January. Wonder if his money-grubbying ex-wife will try to get her hands on the profits of these things?

Dennis Hopper’s Ex-Wife Wants Him To Pay Her $45 Million

Yes, we know he's passed, but the woman has a list of funds she believes she is owed, so she's going after his estate to get them, regardless.

Victoria Hopper, ex-wife to the late actor Dennis Hopper, has filed a $45 million creditor's claim against his estate. Between lawyer's fees, child support and a supposed cut of property, that is the number she figures she is owed by Dennis.

In her suit, she also claims to have suffered "a loss of income" and defamation whilst being married and going through a divorce with Dennis, so she wants a couple million for that too.

Someone people don't know when to quit!

Dennis Hopper’s Daughter Could Get Shafted!

Poor Galen!

Lawyers for Dennis Hopper's estate have been trying to come to some sort of agreement with his estranged wife's lawyers, but they're having trouble.

The people in control of the estate want to kick Victoria off to property — along with their seven-year-old daughter Galen!

Victoria is refusing to go and she believes she's entitled to 25 percent of the estate while they think she should get nothing. As for Galen, Dennis tried to cut down her share from 40 percent to 25 percent, but it's possible that amendment didn't go through.

Changes to estate plans are not allowed when a divorce is pending.

Why was he cutting down his daughter's share? She's an innocent party in this hot mess!
