About the Item

Red Arrow Gallery is proud to announce artist Jeff Scott and his dramatic works of art, Elvis: The Personal Archives. With the cooperation of the Elvis Presley estate, Scott gained unprecedented access to Elvis’s personal possessions and property. After more than ten years, Scott presents Elvis: The Personal Archives, a complex series of original object artwork created from Scotts’ unique access to Elvis’s very private things. The way Scott juxtaposes Elvis’s favorite pistol and narcotics badge in Object of Authority reveals a fundamental rift between Presley’s rebellious reputation and his private obsession with police and authority. The Gold Bedside Telephone, TV With Bullet Hole with bullet through his television screen, Thumbprint, and his Tennessee Operators’ License provide rare portrayals of Elvis’s inner life, placing the public man in an intimate context and elevating the commonplace to the level of worship. Scott uses photogravure prints to make physical objects out of Elvis’s original artifacts, thus allowing the viewer to experience the tactile sensation of interacting with Elvis’s personal things. Through this work Scott explores our complex relationship with modern celebrity culture and the ways in which our possessions and material objects outlive us to tell our story. Jeff Scott is an artist known for his dramatic imagery of America’s historic and cultural landscape. He has exhibited widely in the United States, and his works are in the Permanent Collections of the Dallas Museum of Art, The Smithsonian Institution, Elvis Presley Enterprises, Disney, Polo Ralph Lauren, E.A. Carmean, Jr. and The National Trust for Historic Preservation. Portions of his series based on Elvis’s personal archives were exhibited at the Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh. Scott has had dozens of one man and group exhibitions and is known as a visual provocateur. Scott was named by the Howard Greenberg Gallery, NYC, as one of the most important photographers working in the world today. Jeff Scott is also the author of Elvis: The Personal Archives (Channel Photographics), a stunning collection of his artwork from his series of the same name. He has received the James Beard Foundation Award for his multi-volume books on chefs, Notes From a Kitchen: A Journey Inside Culinary Obsession. While continuing The Surveillance Series, Scott is completing a new series of paintings about American Crime, and working on a monograph based on the continuation of The Surveillance Series.
