Framed photograph, with a mat 70 x 91 cm The American actor and singer driving his Ford Thunderbird. This iconic photograph was officially unveiled to the public in 2015 as part of the major travelling exhibition marking the centenary of his birth, entitled ‘Sinatra: An American Icon’ (held at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles and the New York Public Library), as well as at partner art galleries such as the Morrison Hotel Gallery. The exhibition, organised in direct collaboration with the Sinatra family and Frank Sinatra Enterprises, drew on the Sinatra Family Archive, which held the original negatives taken by the Hollywood photographer Frank Worth, a close friend of Sinatra’s. The image now forms part of the artist’s official archive, managed commercially by Frank Sinatra Enterprises (FSE).
