Description

From the personal collection of legendary rock photographer Barry Feinstein—a great original semi-glossy 20 x 16 silver gelatin photograph of Bob Dylan energetically playing with bricks in a Liverpool rubble field. Signed and titled on the reverse in pencil, "Barry Feinstein, Bob Dylan, Liverpool, England, 1966," beneath Feinstein's copyright stamp. In fine condition.

Feinstein recalled taking this shot on the day of the Football Association Cup Final, May 14, 1966, which saw Dylan engage with a bunch of waifish Liverpudlian youth: 'Bob felt great in Liverpool. The scenery, the houses, the open spaces were wonderful. He got all athletic throwing all these rocks around. I said, ‘It’s Bowling For Dollars!’ He loved these kids. He was compassionate to them.'

From the personal collection of Barry Feinstein and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from his estate. Barry Feinstein passed away in 2011, and since then his estate has offered posthumous estate-stamped limited edition photographs from his archives; this example, printed and signed during his lifetime, and deriving from his personal collection, is superior to those gallery offerings.
