Sinatra Exhibit Provides Fresh View Of Legend

Wentworth Gallery has announced an upcoming exhibit called “The Art of Ole Blue Eyes,” which will tell the story of the legendary Frank Sinatra’s life through artwork from one of the largest and oldest photo archives in the world.

The exhibit, which will be open for just a few days in December, 2006, is intended to celebrate 90 years of Sinatra and will feature Charles Pignone, author of recent New York Times bestseller, Sinatra Treasure, offering his firsthand recollections of his experiences traveling with Sinatra to more than 500 concerts. It will capture the legendary singer at various points through his movie and musical careers, paintings, photographs and family. For the first time ever, collectors will be able to buy limited edition artwork on canvas which was created from Frank Sinatra’s original paintings by his granddaughter Amanda Erlinger after Sinatra passed away in 1998.

The show will run December 8 from 6-9 PM in Newport Beach, California and December 9 from 5-9 PM in La Jolla, California.
