Bricked Up and Bernie
Great to have lyricist, artist and Iconic Images-collaborator, Bernie Taupin, with us at our Piccadilly Gallery today.
Bricked Up from the Bernie Taupin & Terry O'Neill collaboration
In his famous high collar and a scarf, legendary singer Elvis Presley arrives at the International Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada on August 1st, 1969, the day of his comeback press conference. With his addition of a wall of multi-colored, pixel-like blocks, Taupin's reworking and its title allude to the coercive influence Elvis's manager Colonel Tom Parker held over the singer's life and career.
