An expanded new edition of this fascinating and lavishly illustrated landmark volume offers a guided tour of Hamptons history and the architects and personalities—artists and designers, eccentrics and dreamers—who transformed this once-sleepy rural outpost to the high-powered resort it is today.
“Weekend Utopia brings to vivid life a century in the architectural and social history of the East End.”
– Best Books of 2001, New York Times Book Review
The Hamptons have long served as a release valve for the urban pressures of New York City. Weekend Utopia traces the competitive, often humorous, and always compelling development of this incandescently beautiful but maddeningly self-conscious seaside paradise. Journalist and critic Alastair Gordon looks behind the hype of this charmed seaside realm to reveal the true legacy of the Hamptons as an incubator of cutting-edge art, architecture, and lifestyle that has helped to redefine the very notion of American leisure.
This revised edition includes never-before-seen images and newly researched stories, an updated introduction, and an extensive new concluding chapter that brings the narrative into the present, demonstrating how the region's modernist legacy continues to influence and inspire the East End architecture and culture of today.
Showcasing the artistic and architectural innovations of the Hamptons from the 1920s to the current day, Weekend Utopia ranges from the country clubs of the Social Register elite to the experimental houses and studios of avant-garde artists like Jackson Pollock and Robert Motherwell to the daring beachfront homes designed by the likes of Peter Blake, Andrew Geller, Philip Johnson, and George Nelson. An ideal gift for Hamptonites, architecture buffs, and beach lovers alike.
25th ANNIVERSARY EDITION: The celebrated original edition of Weekend Utopia helped ignite the nationwide passion for midcentury modern. Gordon’s update expands the visuals and includes new anecdotes and projects to bring the content up to the present.
LAVISHLY ILLUSTRATED: The sumptuous coffee table book includes more than 420 color and black-and-white images, including sketches, architectural drawings, and photographs—many by the leading photographers of midcentury modernism.
INSIDE LOOK: Thoroughly researched by critic and journalist Alastair Gordon, who has deep ties to the region and interviewed many of its prominent figures, this is a true insider’s perspective on the architecture, design, and stories behind the singular allure of the Hamptons.
