An original 11” x 14” black and white photograph of the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ guitarist John Frusciante, taken in 2002 by famed artist/film director Julian Schnabel. Schnabel created the artwork and photographs for the Chili Peppers album By The Way (his daughter Lola is pictured on the album cover and was dating John Frusciante at the time).  John Frusciante has written his initials on the back of this photograph, indicating he approves of it’s use and publication.

This beautiful hand printed photograph was made from the original negative, not mass produced, and was part of a group of photographs sent to the Chili Peppers to approve. The initials are original writing in pen.  We obtained this from longtime Chili Peppers employee and former Road Manager Louie Mathieu, and they come with Recordmecca’s written lifetime guarantee of authenticity.  A beautiful Frusciante photograph.
