Jim Marshall Bob Dylan Rolling a Tire, Greenwich Village, 1963
An Iconic Street Scene of Early Dylan | Limited Edition Black-and-White Photography
Captured in 1963 by legendary photographer Jim Marshall, this evocative black-and-white photograph presents Bob Dylan in an unguarded, almost playful moment on the streets of Greenwich Village—rolling a tire along the sidewalk during a formative period in his artistic life. Taken at a time when Dylan was emerging as the voice of a generation, the image reflects the restless creativity and unconventional spirit that would soon redefine American music and culture.
Far removed from the concert stage or recording studio, the photograph offers a rare glimpse into Dylan’s everyday world—casual, curious, and quietly rebellious. The urban backdrop of early-1960s New York, combined with Dylan’s forward motion, creates a visual metaphor for momentum, change, and artistic independence. Marshall’s candid approach captures not a posed icon, but a young artist in motion, navigating both the city and his evolving identity.
Photographed on a day when Dylan was accompanied by Suze Rotolo and fellow folk musicians David Van Ronk and Terry Thal, this image has become a touchstone for collectors drawn to authentic moments of cultural history. The simplicity of the scene underscores its power: a future legend, a city sidewalk, and the unmistakable energy of a pivotal era.
Studio CT proudly presents this photograph as a limited-edition archival print, produced to museum standards to preserve its rich tonal range and historical significance.
A cornerstone work for collectors of Bob Dylan memorabilia, classic music photography, or 1960s Americana, this piece is available for private viewing at Studio CT in Agoura Hills, California.
