Abstract
This statue is located on Beale Street in Elvis Presley Plaza. The artist decided to create a younger Elvis, the way he looked and dressed when he walked down Beale Street as an emerging superstar. The bronze is more weather-proof than Lugar’s predecessor’s Elvis statue that included fabric tassels and real guitar strings.
