Acquired as a gift from the above by the present owner 

The painter Jürgen D. Flohr from Dusseldorf has demonstrated his outstanding talent with the present portrait of Sammy Davis Jr. This extraordinary piece, which Flohr worked on for over six weeks, was a gift from Carl Cordier, the technical director of Udo Jürgens' tours for many years, as a sign of appreciation for their collaboration. Flohr has made a name for himself with his photorealistic paintings. His repertoire includes icons of film history and legendary rock stars. Flohr's ability to capture the essence and personality of his subjects has made him a sought-after artist in the field of international jet set. His works are not only artistically impressive, but special collector's items that immortalise the greats of the music and film world.
