Theme piece for the 1964 New York World’s Fair, Donald De Lue’s Promethean figure still stands on its original site in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park long after the fair buildings have vanished. Celebrating the space age, this forty-five-foot high semi-nude male hurls a long arc-shaped object through a circle of stars into outer space. It remains symbolic of our country’s aspirations and confidence during the era of our first explorations beyond the stratosphere.
