Description

Limited edition 19.75 x 16 silver gelatin photograph of Frank Sinatra at home in his new Thunderbird in 1955. Blindstamped in the lower border by the estate of photographer Frank Worth, and numbered 39/195. In fine condition. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from the executor of the Frank Worth Estate.

Sent to Hollywood as a staff photographer for the International News Service in 1940, 17-year-old Frank Worth quickly developed a unique rapport with the A-list celebrities he encountered. Transitioning from photographer to friend with relative ease, he spent over five decades capturing some of the most remarkable candid photos of Hollywood's elite, who typically only allowed carefully posed glamour portraits and publicity shots. Despite his own financial struggles, Worth valued the privacy of his famous friends above his potential earnings, and never exhibited these images during his lifetime. After his passing in 2000, a company was formed to finally publish his thousands of unseen images. This is one of the captivating images released by the Frank Worth Estate.
