Capital Art, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: CAPA) is celebrating the glamorous
Hollywood lifestyle with the announcement of an exciting
partnership with Sofitel Los Angeles, showcasing collections of
rarely exhibited and newly discovered photographic treasures.
With the new collaboration, Sofitel Los Angeles becomes the
first-ever hotel to display many never-before-seen prints of
Hollywood legends from the Frank Worth Collection. Photos from the
iconic Frank Worth Collection, which has been described as "the
most extraordinary find of its kind in the last fifty years" by
Christie's of London, are on display as a rotating exhibit in the
public spaces of Sofitel in Los Angeles.
Gracing the lobby of the fashionable hotel for guests and
visitors to admire, photos of Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe,
James Dean, Frank Sinatra, Ronald and Nancy Reagan, Jayne
Mansfield, Sammy Davis Jr., Bob Hope, Marlon Brando, Rita Hayworth
and Natalie Wood are also available for purchase. Sofitel Los
Angeles will also add prints of Jane Russell, Cary Grant, Grace
Kelly and other noted Hollywood legends throughout the spring and
summer months. In addition to viewing the artwork in the Lobby,
Sofitel is also offering meeting planners a set of three, 12 x 18
Elizabeth Taylor Photographs from the Frank Worth Collection as
part of their Summer Meeting Incentive.
Worth, a relatively unknown photographer during his lifetime was
also the original photographer for the Los Angeles Dodgers when
they first moved from Brooklyn in 1958. During his time in Los
Angeles he befriended many of Hollywood's 'royalty' and became
known for his 'candid' style of photography, capturing stars in a
way few had ever seen, from the sets of their movies to lavish
Hollywood parties. Following his death in 2000 at the age of 77,
Worth's family discovered his unpublished work that is now
available through Capital Art, Inc.
Norman Solomon, President of Capital Art, Inc. commented, "We
look forward to welcoming the guests of Sofitel Los Angeles for
their chance to view a part of the Frank Worth Collection's unique
imagery of these iconic Hollywood legends. The hotel's French style
and Hollywood glamour provide the perfect setting to view these
timeless images and we strongly recommend a visit. We welcome the
opportunity to work with Sofitel and support further their desire
to bring quality experience to all their guests."
