Book Hamptons Private

Book Hamptons Private by Assouline

Description

“The Hamptons” is synonymous with luxury. Just mentioning the name conjures up images of pool parties, palatial waterfront estates, and endless days on the beach socializing with the upper echelon. But before this famous peninsula became the summer haunt of the glitterati, its forty miles of rolling sand dunes provided the perfect landscape for English settlers. Once New York's high society caught wind of the charming hamlets and salty air, its members—from the Fords to the Vanderbilts—quickly transformed the Hamptons into a summer oasis. Then come the creatives looking for solitude, a place to write and draw, far from the urban cacophony. John Steinbeck in Sag Harbor. Jackson Pollock in the sources. And Andy Warhol in Montauk. Now, Jay-Z and Beyoncé, Calvin Klein, Madonna, Alec Baldwin and Martha Stewart all enjoy homes in the Hamptons. They may come from different fields, but what can all Hamptonites, honorary or official, agree on? The place has a unique allure – one that transforms to meet the desires of its next seasonal guest or long-time resident.

Hamptons Private invites readers to peek behind the manicured hedges of Amagansett, charter a yacht off the Springs, experience the surfer's paradise of Ditch Plains, and attend a polo match at Bridgehampton. Each page envisions the quintessential Hamptons pastime and showcases the unique quality of light that artist Willem de Kooning dubbed a “miracle.” You can almost hear the sound of tennis balls at the Meadow Club, the whispers of exclusive parties, the rhythms of seaside music at the Surf Lodge – even the first bite of a lobster roll at lunch. The Hamptons, both a nature retreat and a hotspot for A-listers, exudes a boho-chic spirit reflected in its beautiful residents and sublime surroundings.
