Mark Alen stands atop the iconic Chrysler Building in New York, gazing at the breathtaking aerial view of Midtown Manhattan. Joining him are Dr. Wernher von Braun and astronaut John Glenn, discussing the future of space exploration as they examine a model of a lunar landing stage. The historic moment unfolds against the backdrop of the city's iconic skyline, including the Pan Am and Chrysler Buildings. A nod to the past is the Gansevoort Limner's painting of Miss Van Alen gracing the Crown of the Chrysler Building, a testament to the blend of innovation and artistry that defines New York City.
