About the Item

Sharp black colors; nice overall print quality. Dimensions: 11 x 14 inches (may contain a small white border at the edges). Hand signed on the verso from a limited edition of 45. Excellent condition. Looks fantastic in a white frame. Obtained directly from artist. Lot 180 is a primary dealer rep of Fernando Natalici. Further Background: As Rolling Stone wrote... In August 1975, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band were booked to play ten shows at the tiny New York club the Bottom Line, near Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village. Springsteen was weeks away from releasing his third album, Born to Run, and his label, Columbia, invited more than 1,000 industry insiders to see what fans of the E Street Band's live shows had long known. As guitarist Steven Van Zandt says, "Blowing minds was routine for us. We had been doing it for ten years, and Bruce used all ten years of it in those shows." The band played two shows a night during the course of five nights, and the career-defining gigs were breathtaking in their intensity, each its own raucous, life-affirming celebration. "It was our coming-out party," Springsteen says. "And some sort of transformation occurred over those five nights. We walked out of that place in a different place."
