A Place in the Sun collects Slim Aarons’s photographs capturing the glamorous lifestyles of some of high society’s most prominent people.
“Slim
Aarons is known for his dreamy lifestyle photographs of celebrities and
socialites in jaw-dropping locations around the world.” —Architectural Digest
Since 1940 Slim Aarons has been hard at work, first as a war
photographer, then with unprecedented access as a photographer to the
rich and famous. In this book, he develops the environmental portrait to
the level of art, always showing his subjects in their natural setting,
in a circumstance synonymous with their station in life.
Aarons documented a particular world that has vanished. A Place in the Sun
is that special glimpse of privilege under a bright and beaming sky,
whether on sandy shore, snowy slope, or elegant home where cares are
few. Through 250 stunning color pictures, Aarons provides a veritable
Who’s Who of high society: - Aristotle Onassis with his first wife, Tina, and their children
- C. Z. Guest at her villa in Palm Beach
- The Aga Khan at his Sardinian resort
- Truman Capote in Palm Springs
- And more!
From Mustique to Monaco, from Aspen to Gstaad, only Aarons can take us
on a journey to the most exclusive playgrounds of the rich, inspiring
even the most jaded armchair traveler.
