Lot 1608: John Belushi Middle Finger Original Negative By Joe Sia

ITEM DESCRIPTION

 
Reserve: $100.00
Winning Bid: $359.89

Auction Date:11/30/2005 9:00 PM EST

Eschewing the Samurai Sword, the rubber-faced Saturday Night Live star instead used his middle finger to get his point across in this great Joe Sia negative. Whether or not Belushi was saluting a critic after a review of “1941” or “Continental Divide”, pose is perfectly metaphoric of the in-your-face guerilla comedy sensibility that propelled Belushi to superstardom before he self-destructed. 4 x 5” neg is NRMT and a classic. By important rock photographer Joe Sia.
