After a successful national tour in the US, UK and Europe, the Smithsonian Institution is finally bringing Alfred Wertheimer's 56-prints photographic exhibition of a young Elvis Presley down under, right here at our very own National Portrait Gallery . A struggling freelance photo journalist in the 1950s from New York City, Alfred was hired and given the assignment to document the every facet of the 21-year old newly signed recording artist. Like a wingman, he would tag along on the rising superstar's everyday grind - be it during concerts, road tours, recordings, and even at his own private home, away from the public eye.

This special exhibition, : Photographs by Alfred Wertheimer, was put up in celebration of Elvis Presley's 75th birthday, with collaborative work from the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery , Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, and Govinda Gallery, and is sponsored by HISTORYTM .
