Hamptons Coffee Table Book

Long synonymous with a certain kind of American summer, the Hamptons has evolved from quiet coastal landscape to a place of layered culture, creativity, and escape. In Hamptons Private, Assouline traces that evolution—from early settlers and storied families like the Fords and Vanderbilts, to artists seeking solitude, including John Steinbeck, Jackson Pollock, and Andy Warhol. Today, it remains both retreat and social hub, where nature, design, and a distinct coastal light—once described by Willem de Kooning as a “miracle”—continue to shape its enduring appeal.
