Please excuse cross posting.

For an exhibition next January, the National Portrait Gallery is hoping to borrow a Ferus type silkscreen by Andy Warhol of Elvis Presley.  It must be smaller than 82 inches wide to fit the particular gallery for the exhibition so a double or small triple portrait would be ideal. 

We have made contact with the Andy Warhol Museum, Seattle Art Museum, Akron Art Museum and Virginia Museum of Fine Arts all of which are unable to lend.  Does anyone know of a public or private collection in the United States preferably east of the Mississippi that might be a good source for this piece? 

Any assistance would be appreciated.
