About Capital Art, Inc.
Capital Art, Inc. (CAPA.PK) acquires, editions and manages some
of the most valuable iconic photographic images and internationally
markets limited editions and reproductions created from the
original negatives. The company also makes available images for
publications and merchandize.
Capital Art sells and distributes classic and contemporary
limited edition photographic images and reproductions with a focus
on iconic celebrity images. The company already owns and/or manages
an amazing array of valuable photography including the works of the
late Frank Worth who was "confidant to the stars" during the golden
era of Hollywood.
Investment in iconic photographic images is increasingly
becoming an important component for a growing number of art
collectors and investors. As photography is becoming an asset class
in its own right, and with a rapidly growing middle class, the
demand for iconic images should continue to increase with little
new material coming to the market.
The Frank Worth Collection is composed of over 5,000 analog
negatives, which also have an increasing intrinsic collectors value
themselves, as digital reproduction has virtually replaced the use
of original negatives.
Christie's of London, a leading auction
art house, heralded the Frank Worth collection as "The most significant find of its kind in the last 50
years."
Capital Art aims to become a leading force
in the international management/distribution of iconic photographic
art.
