TWA Flight Center — 08

The full 35 mm negative.

Model workshop for Eero Saarinen's TWA terminal, c. 1956-1962. Idlewild (now JFK) Airport, New York. Photograph attributed to Balthazar Korab (1926-2013). The legs beside the model are most likely Eero Saarinen's: this is Beau Edition's hypothesis; the Library of Congress catalog does not mention it.

Direct print on 3 mm aluminium. Black matt floater frame.
