Untitled, Memphis
Digital C-print
Literature: “Untitled, Memphis,” is a signed photograph depicting a cardboard cut-out of Elvis Presley, with microphone in hand, enclosed by window security bars. By capturing this image of Elvis, framed by a serene blue sky and fluffy white clouds, William Eggleston comments upon the deification that has already been granted to the iconic musician. As consistent with his larger oeuvre, the bold blue screen to the right of the Elvis tableau accommodates the artist’s occupation with color and its role and function in fine art photography.
Dimensions: 30 x 40 in (76.2 x 101.6 cm)
signature info: Signed on recto, lower right
Dimension notes: Image: 20.00 x 30.06 in Frame: 31.00 x 41.00 in
Edition: Edition of 40
