The French Riviera was the center of creativity during the 1920s and early ’30s. Artists and writers from the far reaches of the world gathered to fashion a new way of life—among them Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Gerald and Sara Murphy, Picasso, Picabia, Stravinsky, Cocteau, Diaghilev, and Anna de Noailles. A photobiography of this carefree era, The French Riviera in the 1920s revitalizes the now-legendary tale of these mythic personalities caught between a desire for creation, the quest for happiness, and the looming darkness of World War II.

Roy Lichtenstein’s comic strip–inspired paintings and irreverent wit have resonated with art collectors and enthusiasts for over half a century. Museums and galleries compete to exhibit his work, and in the market, he is one of the most coveted names in contemporary art. Celebrated for imbuing ordinary objects from hot dogs to trash cans with monumental power, Lichtenstein defied traditional “good taste” and became part of the new avant-garde that redefined American art in the 1960s. In this new Assouline Ultimate Collection volume, one hundred of Lichtenstein’s most memorable works, as chosen by art historian Avis Berman, are lavishly reproduced, from the iconic Whaam! and Drowning Girl and later reinterpretations of paintings by Picasso, Matisse, and van Gogh to public commissions like Times Square Mural, which is installed in New York City’s Times Square subway station.

Chaumet, established in 1780, is one of the great treasures of Place Vendôme, the first fine jeweler on the square, and today Chaumet continues its legacy of fine craftsmanship and innovative, sophisticated design with ever more inspired high jewelry collections. This year Assouline introduces a fourth slipcase set of Mémoire volumes on the themes of Precious Time, chronicling Chaumet’s fine jeweled timepieces; The Art of the Line, describing the process of creating a precious jewel from an artist’s drawing, and the house’s legacy of preserving these artistic renderings; and Les Ciels de Chaumet, the Maison’s newest collection, inspired by the terrestrial skies and the celestial heavens. Les Ciels de Chaumet (by Domizio Sassetelli) People have always gazed toward the sky to interpret its mysteries through mythology and scientific theory, and to reproduce its elements in works of art. Throughout its history, Chaumet has also looked to the ever-changing skies to inspire its poetic jeweled creations. A recurring motif in the Maison’s repertoire, the astral and divine inhabitants of the sky are highlighted in its new high jewelry collection Les Ciels de Chaumet. Precious Time (by David Chokron) The history of modern society is reflected in the aesthetic and technical evolution of watches since the 18th century. Although not primarily known as a creator of timepieces, nevertheless Chaumet’s chronology of watchmaking over two centuries encompasses many impressive and innovative jeweled milestones. The Art of the Line (by Jérôme Neutres) Each Chaumet jewel begins with an artistic idea, a drawing on paper, a gouache on cardstock, a watercolor on canvas. Within the walls of this prestigious house of high jewelry is preserved a unique treasury of 65,000 drawings executed over two and a half centuries by the Chaumet artists in preparation for the creation of its precious jewels. *SEP**SEP* David Chokron is a journalist and consultant specializing in the field o.

Houses of worship have served as a benchmark for the heights of human achievement since time immemorial—the more noble the holy shrine, the more noble the society. Over the centuries civilizations have considered their own worth against the splendor of the local religious structure, and built to exacting standards and to scales previously unimaginable, and empires have asserted their dominance over lands and populations by virtue of the holy structures erected. This is particularly true in Islam, a religion whose structures proliferated across the known world of the “Islamic Golden Age,” coterminous with the West’s “Dark Ages.” The birth of geometry and the invention of the double dome are but two inventions that contributed to the architectural splendor of the mosque. However, the mosque is much more than just a house of worship. It plays a complex role as an institution in which religious instruction is often given and a social center in which marriages and community meetings can take place. Wherever the mosque is built, it strives to be integrated into the sociological and urban landscape. It also plays the role of informing the architecture of the surrounding city and influencing its inhabitants. While all mosques stem from a common tradition of reverence, differing sects, regions and practices have led to many innovations and novel architectural forms. Mosques is the latest addition to the “Ultimate collection,” and is a journey though centuries and continents that brings readers to the threshold of 100 of the world’s most historically significant buildings that are home to worshippers of the fastest growing, and second largest, religion in the world. Offered as a numbered limited edition featuring a two-tone silk hardcover in a luxurious velvet clamshell case with hand-embroidered gold thread detailing, the rich vibrancy of the Mosques special edition is an homage to the grand beauty of the architectural wonders found on every page in this st.

In the popular imagination, possibly no other artist’s work is more recognizable than that of Salvador Dali?. Indeed, for many he is the ultimate mad artist, whose singular vision remorselessly probed his own psychological depths.

Off the coast of East Africa in the Indian Ocean sits an archipelago known as Zanzibar. It all started ten million years ago when the island of Pemba separated from mainland Africa and then ten thousand years ago, the island of Unguja followed suit. Thus, begins the legend of Zanzibar. For centuries, Zanzibar has been the haven and gateway for explorers including Richard Burton and David Livingstone to penetrate the unknown African Continent. Forward to present day, and it is still possible to experience the unique wildlife whether that is by scuba diving off the coast of a private island, infinite lagoons, visiting mangroves or endemic wild forests; getting lost and immersing yourself into the historical labyrinthine streets of Stonetown. This cluster of islands is at a crossroads of cultures, featuring Omani architecture, Portuguese and British heritages as well as Swahili rituals.

La Colombe d’Or hotel and restaurant in the South of France is known all over the world as a privileged place where the Provençal art de vivre goes hand in hand with an astonishing private COLLECTION of modern art. First opened in 1920 as Chez Robinson, a café-bar with an open-air terrace, it quickly became a very popular meeting place and expanded into a small hotel and restaurant.

As regular visitors to this beautiful place, Matisse, Braque, Léger, Calder, César, and many other artists have left magnificent works that now form part of the unique setting, including splendid pages in the fascinating guest books—presented to the world for the first time in this volume—in which the greatest artists of our time have drawn and signed moments of happiness.

The pearl necklace is an iconic classic, which has offered an irresistible invitation to subversive reinterpretation through the centuries. Renaissance queens, maharajas, First Ladies, and starlets from the Golden Age of Hollywood to the present have all made the pearl necklace part of their wardrobes, each wearing it after the fashion of the times or their own fancy. In The Pearl Necklace, Assouline and Mikimoto explore the legacy of these lustrous strands through fine art and fashion in a luxurious volume that reminds us why the pearl necklace has long been the ultimate object of fascination and fantasy. *SEP**SEP* Jewelry historian Vivienne Becker is an award-winning journalist and author of several books on the history of jewelry design.

Guy Bourdin ranks high in the pantheon of the most important photographers of the second half of the twentieth century. Throughout his career, and notably as a star photographer through three decades for Vogue Paris, he dramatically extended the possibilities of what a fashion photograph could be, making images that are distinctive, intense, haunting, and unforgettable. A painter all his life and an ever-curious self-taught photographer, Guy Bourdin pursued his unique artistic vision with single-mindedness and absolute integrity. An instinctive Surrealist, creator of enigmatic narratives, and a maverick art director, he conceived timeless images that have remained a powerful influence and inspiration for successive generations. Born in Paris, Guy Bourdin began exhibiting drawings and painting in his early twenties. After becoming a protégé of the Surrealist artist Man Ray, Bourdin showed his first photography exhibition in 1952, with an introduction by his mentor in the catalog. Incredibly, this was just five years before he would exhibit his work at the International Photography Biennale in Venice. By 1955, Guy embarked on a long career of magazine editorials, with his first publication in the February issue of Vogue Paris entitled “Chapeaux Choc.” By the 1960s, Bourdin became one of the most celebrated photographers in the magazine, with total artistic freedom. In 1967, Bourdin began a long and successful collaboration of more than fifteen years with the Charles Jourdan shoe company. An avant-garde conceptual photographer, Bourdin established the idea that the product is secondary to the image. Both formally and contextually, Bourdin presented shoes and other fashion products in challenging ways, mainly by using double-page spreads that still resonate today as modern beyond their commercial context. During this period of patronage from Charles Jourdan, Bourdin’s groundbreaking editorials and advertising photos became famous, earning him campaigns such as t. BUY FROM ASSOULINE

Francis Giacobetti reinvented not only the nude, but the entire artistic process of capturing images in video and photographs. From its inception, Giacobetti was the principal photographer of the infamous monthly magazine Lui, barring any retouching and working under fourteen pseudonyms. Just as this publication is credited with bringing the pinup to Paris, Giacobetti can be credited with bringing elegance to the world of the nude. Projecting fantasy and desire back into the genre, into some of the most famed years of the Pirelli calendar and into the portraiture of the world’s most famous artists, actors, and models, Giacobetti has created some of photography’s quintessential images of the last half-century. The autodidact’s unorthodox approach to technique, light, and shadow has earned him covers across multiple images and formats, and has vaulted the name Giacobetti among photography’s lofty pantheon of greats. Famous for blurring the lines between photography and painting, craft and art, Giacobetti’s series—Zebras, Irises, Hymn, the Bacon portraits—and processes have baffled masters of the art and distilled the beauty of the human form. *SEP**SEP* Author Jérôme Neutres, PhD, is the Director of Development and Strategy of the Réunion des Musées Nationaux–Grand Palais, a new cultural establishment under the Ministry of Culture and Communications.

Beloved, late French illustrator Raymond Peynet is perhaps best known for his charming "lovers" immortalized in dolls, books, and accessories as the perfect symbols of amour. This delightful book presents a selection of Peynet's whimsical drawings along with quotations by famous writers on love. Created in 1942, in front the bandstand of Valence in Drôme, Raymond Peynet illustrated his couple of lovers that would quickly grow to gain worldwide popularity. Delicate in construction, his simple line drawings contain meanings that are anything but. The loving couple is depicted all over Paris, taking part in different activities and portrayed in varied locations. Looking at an illustration, the first thing you notice is the eyes, then the nose, the mouth, and the hat—his signature features. One line defines the ridge of the nose, beginning at the tip and reaching beyond the eyebrows—a style that was typical of his time. The eyes evoke innocence, and the mouth—a little dot or a small line—is never vulgar. Furthermore, the delicacy of the line draws you into a world of fantasy, an ambiance of pleasure and love. In Peynet's day, illustrators took their time and invited the viewer to do the same when contemplating a drawing. Peynet occasionally used pastels and gouache (materials reminiscent of childhood) to create a warm and peaceful atmosphere. Today, these color tones are seldom used: In the digital world of the Internet and Photoshop, hardly anyone remembers gouache. Flipping through these pages, remember a world of innocence and carelessness—the beauty of Peynet's Lovers.. BUY FROM ASSOULINE

The gaucho is an iconic symbol of the romantic ideal of the love of freedom and of the unspoiled landscape. With his camera, renowned Argentine artist Aldo Sessa spent months on end traveling around Argentina to its farthest reaches, sparing no effort or sacrifice, to follow and record the traces of these expert nomadic horsemen who preserve the Argentine tradition. Silently, without distracting them, Sessa captured the gauchos at all instances of their rustic daily life, around 50,000 images in total, each shot in fulfillment of a promise to Juan José Güiraldes, the legendary Argentine writer, aviator, and founding president of the Argentine Gaucho Confederation to eternalize the gaucho spirit.

For more than a century, Rolex stands apart as the most coveted and most legendary brand of watches in the world. A Rolex connotes many things: the quintessence of the luxury timepiece, a tool of power for movers and shakers, the symbol of passage into adulthood. New labels pop up, styles come and go, but the brand at the top never changes. Ever the record setter—the Daytona that had belonged to Paul Newman was auctioned by Phillips in New York in October 2017 for $17.8 million—it comes as no surprise that Rolex is the most collected watch label in the world. The history of Rolex is rooted in the visionary spirit of its founder, Hans Wilsdorf. In 1905, young Wilsdorf founded a company in London for the distribution of timepieces, but his true dream was to produce wristwatches—in their infancy at the time, and not very precise—that would be technically durable and reliable, and supremely elegant. The company first concentrated on producing the highest quality movements, and this quest for precision rapidly led to the first wristwatch in the world to receive the Swiss Certificate of Chronometric Precision, granted by the Official Watch Rating Centre in Bienne in 1910. Four years later, Kew Observatory in Great Britain awarded a Rolex watch a class A certificate, a distinction that had been previously reserved exclusively for marine chronometers. From that date forward, the Rolex wristwatch has been synonymous with precision. Over the last 100 years, Rolex milestones include: the first waterproof watch, the first self-winding mechanism, the first wristwatch to fly over Mt. Everest, the first diver’s watch waterproof to 100 meters, the first to withstand magnetic fields of 1,000 gauss, the first to descend the Mariana Trench.
