Consisting of seven essays, Robert Rosenblum’s Remembering the Future celebrates the 25th and 50th anniversaries of the New York World’s Fairs. Each essay examines the deep historical, social, and cultural impact of the Fairs, pouring into the two fairs’ distinct visions of the future. The book reveals the art, architecture, science, and technology displayed at each Fair, emblematized through iconic photography and oral legend. Rosenblum plunges headlong into urban planning legend Robert Moses’s prolific involvement in and impact upon the World’s Fairs. Remembering the Future offers a penetrating look at a future that has already happened.
