ELVIS AT 21 Photo Exhibit Now Open at Clinton Presidential Center Thru 8/21
Elvis at 21, Photographs by Alfred Wertheimer, is a photographic journey of a walk to fame, created in verité fashion without a hint of irony by Al Wertheimer of one of most significant cultural icons of the twentieth century. It is currently running at the Clinton Presidential Center through August 21, 2011.
This surprisingly relevant photographic exhibition is enhanced by the printing process. The forty 37 x 42 inch, pigment prints, produced by master Tamarind printer David Adamson, give Wertheimer's unique visual record a cinematic power that makes Elvis' road to fame palpable. Curated with an eye toward the art of the photograph, Elvis at 21 is a brilliant and fleeting moment of intimacy created by the photographer as modernist. It is a rare moment in history chronicling a time before Elvis becomes icon; before security and money build walls between him and his fans.
Elvis at 21, Photographs by Alfred Wertheimer, an exhibition developed by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, Govinda Gallery, and the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery, is sponsored nationally by HIST
The Clinton Presidential Center is located at 1200 President Clinton Ave. Little Rock, AR
