[00:00:00]The king of rock and roll, Elvis Presley.

[00:00:04]A voice, a movement, a shockwave through American life. And Andy Warhol knew exactly what he was looking at. Not simply [music] a star, but the most recognizable rhythm in the world. Double Elvis is Warhol capturing fame at full voltage.

[00:00:22]A cowboy, a movie star, a rock and roll god, an American myth with [music] a pistol drawn. This was one of Warhol's great breakthroughs, making [music] painting move like music. Repetition like a chorus, rhythm like a backbeat, fame on loop.

[00:00:42]Today, Double Elvis remains [music] one of the most iconic images of the 20th century.

[00:00:48]Immortalized by the artist who turned icons into [music] eternity.
