Maquette for the statue ‘Elvis at 13’ in Tupelo by Michiel Vandersommen, formerly owned by Priscilla Presley. Resin. 18 by 7 by 5in. (45.7 by 17.8 by 12.7cm) Condition: Fine. At the suggestion of Maurice Colgan, the Elvis Presley Foundation commissioned from Michiel Vandersommen an impressionistic bronze likeness of Elvis at age 13 to be displayed at the Elvis Presley Birthplace Park. Elvis is portrayed in oversized overalls, a full open-collar shirt and plain shoes as evidence of the poverty and humbleness of those early years. The statue is life-sized and displayed at ground level so that fans can more directly relate to Elvis as a person. In August 2002, the statue was unveiled and dedicated to fans worldwide. It is one of the most popular photo opportunities at the Park. Estimate €2000-€3000 (approx £1,750-£2,630) Click here for more images and to bid on this lot 526
