[Men in Black] New York World's Fair, 1964 New York photographer Vintage silver print, 20,5x25,5 cm, address stamp and title, ink: “N.Y. World's Fair” “The World Expo Observatory Towers were observatory stations open during the 1964/1965 New York World's Fair in Flushing Meadows. In the Men in Black series, the towers were actually interstellar spacecrafts once piloted by a group alien refugees known as the Baltians. 'It is the Eiffel Tower of Queens,' says Matthew Silva, who's making a documentary about the pavilion in Queens' Flushing Meadows Corona Park, comparing it to a remnant of the 1889 Paris Exposition that was also threatened with demolition before it was saved... the restoration is expected to be completed in early 2021.” (W.)
