Art exists all around us: one just needs to know where to look. Escaping the conventional settings of the museum or gallery, a fascinating variety of art pieces exist everywhere from Ghanaian patios to the Las Vegas desert, from the forest in Scandinavia to the buzzing streets of Mexico City. Art Escapes is a thoughtful journey through these little-known gems that become a destination in themselves, and should be part of every art-lover bucket list.

Vivre l’Orient est ce voyage qui montre et raconte des univers multiples et étonnants saisis par un regard poète. À la manière d'un enchanteur Guillaume de Laubier donne la parole à l’ocre du désert et met en lumière les fastes et merveilles des palais et demeures, riches d’un savoir-faire ancestral.

Et l’on s’arrête devant les gratte-ciel, musées et villas modernes qui révolutionnent l’architecture et le design du monde arabe.

St. Moritz Chic
Dora Lardelli
Assouline, 2021
Nestled in Switzerland’s alpine Engadin Valley, St. Moritz stands on its own amidst a sea of celebrated ski resorts in that it has long maintained an elusive allure. The winter home of personalities from Gunter Sachs and Gianni Agnelli to Sofia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, John Lennon, and Claudia Schiffer, there are few places in the world that manage to unite so many of the top names in cinema, art, and fashion all in one place, year after year. Author Dora Lardelli takes the reader on a journey through Chanel and Hitchcock’s favorite haunts and the hidden parties at Badrutt’s Palace where royalty goes to play, without forgetting the natural beauty, village charm and architectural mastery that define it. St. Moritz also takes readers on a majestic tour of its special events, from Winter Olympics to the annual Snow Polo World Cup, as well as the summertime Jazz Festival and the British Classic Car Meeting. St. Moritz has never lost its inimitable appeal, and will continue to reign as an elegant hideaway for all those who have come to call it a home away from home.

Gstaad Glam
Geoffrey Moore
Assouline, 2021
In the southwest corner of Switzerland, nestled among the snowy mountains of the Swiss Alps is the picturesque, upscale resort town of Gstaad. Teeming with exclusive ski clubs and a fur coat–clad jet set, Gstaad is the definition of Alpine chic, which is evident in the luxurious, family-owned Gstaad Palace, the members-only restaurant The Eagle and the high-fashion boutiques that line the town’s main promenade. It is this combination of opulence and quiet that has attracted a plethora of celebrities including Madonna, Grace Kelly, Stavros Niarchos and Julie Andrews, to name a few. While glitz and glamour are in abundance, local tradition and culture are always close by. Whether it’s in the Pinte Bar at Hotel Olden that exudes authentic charm or a farm on the outskirts of town showcasing a quaint, pastoral lifestyle, this beautiful volume showcases Gstaad’s elegant traditions and unexpected treasures.

Capitale historique et culturelle de premier plan, Londres est une ville qui ne cesse de surprendre. Située au fond d'un estuaire, elle s'est enrichie grâce au commerce maritime. Depuis elle n'a eu de cesse de s'étendre. Connue pour ses quartiers historiques situés autour du parlement et de l'abbaye de Westminster, la richesse de la vie londonienne se retrouve également dans les quartiers touristiques du West End ou de Camden Town. Du swinging London des années 1960 au cool Britain de Tony Britain, le rôle avant-gardiste de la culture anglaise tant dans le domaine de la musique, que de la mode ou du cinéma est mis en lumière. Riche de plus de 500 illustrations, cette monographie invite le lecteur à découvrir les multiples facettes de la ville.
