Madrid Chic

Assouline's newest addition to the Chic Series takes readers to Spain's capital for an intimate look at this welcoming metropolis. The golden light that seems to envelop the city with warmth is captured through the lens of Oliver Pilcher and his original photography for this book. A celebration of cultural expression, gastronomy, and architecture, Madrid Chic invites readers to explore the vibrancy of the Spanish lifestyle.

Poetic tales by Ernest Hemingway, Antonio Machado, and Pablo Neruda intertwine with the reflections of contemporary local figures such as Baroness Carmen Thyssen-Bornemisza, Elena Foster, Sheila Loewe, and Pedro Almodóvar. Works of art by Velázquez and Goya dialogue with creations by contemporary artists such as Jaume Plensa, Arturo Berned, and Óscar Mariné. From grand aristocracy, such as the Duke of Alba, to prominent young artists such as Sandra Rojo Picón, Madrid Chic takes readers on a tour of the city's most captivating locations, immersing them in its vibrant spirit and renewed energy.
