New York con Carlo Isamu Noguchi, 1940
Here we can see Japanese-American artist and landscape architect Isamu Noguchi, surveying what would later become part of the Associated Press Building Plaque, an iconic feature installed in the Rockefeller Center and still standing to this day.
At the time, this feature was the largest-ever stainless steel casting—it was carved out in plaster, and then cast in stainless steel.

This stunning shot features models of the moment—Marla Scarafia, Pat Goldsworthy, Ann Farrar, and June Hatfield—strutting down a street in New York City, looking impossibly stylish and cool.
