Photojournalist Alfred Wertheimer was hired by RCA Victor in 1956 to shoot promotional images of a recently signed 21-year-old recording artist, Elvis Presley. Wertheimer’s instincts to “tag along” with the artist after the assignment and the resulting images provide us today with a first and last unguarded look at Elvis before he exploded onto the scene and became one of the most exciting performers of his time.

The Boca Raton Museum of Art is hosting “Elvis at 21: Photographs by Alfred Wertheimer.” The new Smithsonian traveling exhibition presents fifty-six of Wertheimer’s striking images, which constitute an important visual document of post-World War II America. The exhibition opens April 20, 2010 and continues through June 13, 2010.
