Description: This exhibition is the result of 10 years of research of almost 300 photos taken by Luis Márquez Romay at the New York World's Fair. They intrigued us so much that we asked ourselves how Márquez arrived at the Fair and in what historical context he worked? We conducted a thorough investigation in several archives in Mexico and the U.S. in order to tie up the loose ends and tell this unique story. This catalog was published on the occasion of the exhibition held at the Queens Museum of Art (New York) in the 2010-2011 winter season, and later in the Universidad del Claustro de Sor Juana in the city of Mexico. It brings together about 300 photographs from the holdings of the photographic collection Manuel Toussaint of the IIE - UNAM taken in 1939-1940 by Luis Márquez in the New York World Fair.
