Assouline - Miami Beach - Coffee Table Books

About this product

Considered by many to be the country’s most dynamic and sexiest city, Miami is more popular than ever. Yet, it’s a city that doesn’t merely change but evolves, never rewriting the past, only adding to its illustrious heritage. Miami Beach takes readers on a tour of this bold and wondrous metropolis. The chic Surf Club and vibrant Faena Hotel didn’t replace the emblematic Raleigh of the 1940s nor the Ritz Carlton of the 1950s; they complement them. Classics like Joe’s Stone Crab continue to serve their signature fare to sell-out crowds each night, as new establishments attract diners with name chefs. The iconic Art Deco architecture remains on full display, while the modern Herzog & de Meuron-designed Pérez Art Museum stands in stark contrast.Miami overflows with arts and culture year-round – from the international collections at The Bass to the street art of Wynwood Walls. Each December, the city is taken over by the global cultural elite for Art Basel Miami Beach, a fair that attracts over 80,000 visitors. Well-known for its nightlife, Miami places pleasure at the center of life. Yachts and recreational boats line the marinas, and lively beaches offer front-row seats to a parade of bronzed revelers. Rollerbladers and bikers cruise along its beachfront promenades. Miami has become the hub for everything chic, fiery, and colorful.English edition.
