Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Emphasizing the rich design heritage of the Hamptons, this handsome volume documents images and information similar to the material to be exhibited at the Guild Hall Museum, East Hampton, New York. Celebrity-watchers (impressed with the cachet attached to the mere mention of the posh Long Island villages) may glimpse in these pages the sublime gardens, elegant interiors, and fabulous architecture of the jet-setters, trendy designers, and artists who populate the elite enclave. Luscious color photographs capture seaside vistas and a treasury of architectural styles--including traditional shingle-style cottages, gingerbread-trimmed Victorians, Richard Meier's hard-edged modernism, and the postmodern villas of Robert A. M. Stem. Reproductions of paintings by artists associated with the area add a sense of history to the text; a Fairfield Porter still life and a landscape by William Merritt Chase are two among the many represented. Alice Joyce
