Even without having ever set foot in the United States, any lover of pop culture is familiar with the landscapes of the Hamptons. From the cult scene of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind to the unforgettable Something's Gotta Give to The Affair series, the wild New York state beaches have enchanted moviegoers around the world.

Renowned for its picturesque villages and beach homes at astronomical prices, the favorite vacation spot of the New York elite is celebrated in a superb 312-page book, Hamptons Private, newly published by Assouline, with texts by Dan Rattiner.

A nostalgic ode to the beaches of East Hampton and Sagaponack, this book takes us from Sag Harbor to the streets of Montauk.

Celebrating an elegant lifestyle, it tells the intimate story of the Hamptons through both famous and anonymous faces: Caught on the spot during their beautiful escapes, Heidi Klum and photographer Peter Beard rub shoulders with local surfers, or members of the golden youth of the Big Apple come to bask in front of the Atlantic.

A serene journey, the book depicts an infinite source of escape and inspiration that allows us to wait until our next trip out to the Hamptons.
