Frank Worth
(American, 1923-2000)

"Sammy Davis, Jr. Leaps for Marilyn Monroe" and "Marilyn Monroe on Set of 'How to Marry a Millionaire'"

pair of limited edition archival pigment prints
each with a "Frank Worth Estate" blind stamp lower right, numbered "72/95" and "10/95", respectively. Framed.
each sheet 20-1/4" x 24"

Notes: Working as a freelance photographer in Hollywood in the 40s, 50s and 60s, Worth befriended many of the film industry's stars, often becoming a trusted confidante. Not constrained by the strictures imposed by the studios on their staff photographers, Worth's black and white images, frequently taken on set during breaks in shooting, reveal a spontaneity and sense of playfulness rarely seen. Few images were published during his lifetime; it was only after his death in 2000 that his executor discovered a trove of negatives of Hollywood royalty, and the Estate produced limited edition pigment prints.
