Jean-Michel Frank
$250
At Assouline
Assouline presents a portrait of an iconic yet somewhat mysterious artist whose work illuminated the decorative arts in the twentieth century. Jean-Michel Frank never attended a school of architecture or design, yet during the 1920s and 1930s this self-made interior designer honed and perfected his own unique style, which became a benchmark of Art Deco sophistication. Gold, silk, marble, and fine wood veneers were employed alongside straw marquetry, parchment, plaster, leather, canvas, and distressed oak. Collaborating with the best artists of the time, including Alberto Giacometti and Christian Bérard, Frank designed and art directed streamlined yet sumptuous interiors for notable patrons from Marie-Laure and Charles de Noailles, Nelson Rockefeller, and Elsa Schiaparelli to French institutions like the Comédie Française and the Hôtel Crillon. Just like the timeless little black dress, many of Jean-Michel Franks interior designs still have the power to transform a space with understated elegance and continue to inspire contemporary style today. This definitive volume tells the story and shows the creations of one of the most influential designers of the twentieth century. Laure Verchère holds a degree in art history. A former journalist for Elle Décoration, she is currently a luxury lifestyle brand artistic consultant. Verchères other titles for Assouline include Antiquaires: Paris Flea Markets (2010); Renzo Mongiardino: Renaissance Master of Style (2013); Juan Pablo Molyneux: At Home (2016); and Ritz Paris (2017).

Normans Cay, the small Bahamian island in the Exumas chain 210 miles off of the Florida coast, has a history as colorful as the surrounding sea at sundown. Normans Cay and the surrounding island has played host to swashbuckling pirates, British loyalists fleeing American at the end of the Revolution, enterprising rumrunners, famous writers like Ernest Hemmingway, and, of course, drug smugglers. Most famously, it was the private domain of Carlos Lehder, one of Colombias most notorious drug kingpins, who used it as his base of operations. However, it is these same groups that have secured the Exumas as a largely undeveloped chain of islands, and it is said that the water surrounding the Normans Cay is still some of the clearest on Earth. This book takes readers on a voyage through the shimmering history of Normans Cay, those that have called it home or sought refuge there, and the new chapter the island is ready to write. A paradise in its own right, the Cay is ready to host a new beginning, to make new memories. *SEP**SEP* Armand Limnander is the executive editor of W magazine.
