Poolside with Slim Aarons

Editor's Note: Between the 1950s and the 1980s, Slim Aarons photographed society at leisure, and the pool was a constant. This collection gathers those images, from the Caribbean and Mexico to Italy and Monaco, with C.Z. Guest, Lilly Pulitzer, Cheryl Tiegs and Peter Beard among the familiar faces.

The focus is less on who was there than on how time was spent – yachts, long lunches and summers by the water, captured through rare access to private lives. Hardback, 240 pages, with hundreds of photographs and an introduction by William Norwich. Published by Abrams.
