Original double-weight portrait photograph by the American photographer of the beloved singer-songwriter, shown posed without a shirt at the Jersey Shore in 1973. Photographer's stamp and several handwritten notations to verso. Fine. 10 x 8 inches; 25.4 x 20.3 cm.
In 1973 Columbia Records art director John Berg engaged Gahr to shoot the cover of Springsteen's second album, The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle. His earliest photographs show the young musician in Asbury Park, New Jersey, on the eve of his breakthrough. Gahr befriended Springsteen and photographed him on and off stage for about a decade, from the recording studio and the Bottom Line shows of August 1975, weeks before the release of Born to Run, to the Born in the U.S.A. tour. The photographs were later collected in Bruce Springsteen 1973–1986.
From the private archive of American photographer David Gahr, one of the pre-eminent photographers of American folk, blues, jazz and rock musicians of the 1960s and beyond.
