An original black-and-white photograph of Bruce Springsteen, captured by renowned photographer David Gahr. Gahr was celebrated for his extensive work documenting the American music scene and capturing iconic images of artists from Bob Dylan to Bruce Springsteen. This photograph provides an intimate look at Springsteen during the mid-1980s, a period following the release of Born in the U.S.A. when he was at the height of his commercial and critical success. Gahr’s photography is known for its intimacy and ability to capture the character and energy of his subjects, making this print both a compelling portrait and a significant piece of music history.
