<p>Works of art, memorabilia and decorative arts that belonged to the late Easy Rider film star Dennis Hopper are going on the auction block in New York.</p>
<p>Among the highlights is a portrait by Andy Warhol titled Mao. The auction house says Dennis shot two bullet holes into the portrait of the Chinese communist leader Mao Tse-Tung after a wild night in the early 1970s.</p>
<p>Christie&#8217;s says Warhol circled the holes and labelled them &#8220;warning shot&#8221; and &#8220;bullet hole&#8221;. It says the two men agreed to call the work a collaboration.</p>
<p>The screenprint has a pre-sale estimate of $20,000 to $30,000. (£13,000-£19,000)</p>
<p>The January 11-12 sale also has posters from Dennis&#8217; movies, including Apocalypse Now and Blue Velvet. Most are estimated to sell for $200 to $500. (£130-£320)</p>
