On Saturday, May 10, at 12:00 pm, Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery Writer Warren Perry will give a talk on Elvis 1956, a book which he co-authored and which served as an exhibition catalogue for the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service Exhibition, Elvis at 21, which Perry also co-curated.
Elvis 1956 was a Bronze Award Winner in 2010 (Foreword Reviews Book of the Year Awards) and is a book the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame calls “the first and last unguarded look at Elvis.”
The talk will take place on the 2nd floor of the NPG (8th and G Streets, NW, Washington, DC) in the American Cool exhibition, in front of the portrait of Elvis Presley.
