New York Fly TWA. Circa 1960. Offset lithograph and silkscreen poster. 102¾x63½ cm, 40½x25 inches.
Originally issued in 1956, the poster featured a detailed image of a TWA Constellation. The image was so popular that the airline reused it when it fully entered the Jet Age, changing the image to feature the silhouette of a jet plane. A year after it was first issued, a copy of this poster was acquired by the Museum of Modern Art for their permanent collection. This is the larger version, with the silhouetted jet plane.
