Joni Mabe is the ultimate Elvis fan. For 17 years she has amassed an enormous collection of Elvis memorabilia ranging from the curious to the bizarre: Elvis badges, bedspreads, posters, votive candles, clothes, slippers, lamps, furniture, records, locks of his hair and even his wart, which was surgically removed in 1958. Alongside this pop-art kitsch, Mabe has created brightly coloured, textured collages, using images of the King from his early hip-swivelling days to later visions of him, bloated and sequined. This book is based on Joni Mabe's Travelling Panoramic Encyclopaedia of Everything Elvis , a touring art show which has travelled across the US and Europe in an 18-wheel lorry stuffed full of Elvis artefacts. Her exhibition has attracted a huge amount of interest from the public and press, and encapsulates the obsessive fervour which Elvis still evokes almost 20 years after his death. The book reproduces over 100 items from Mabe's collection in full colour, alongside captions and anecdotes. A chronology, discography and filmography are also provided.
