* Showcases an assortment of unique, varied, and remarkable 'lived-in' interiors* The owners' collections - whether contemporary art, or furniture - form an integral part of the living spaceWhether their passion is for contemporary art or seventeenth-century furniture, for Islamic tiles or Renaissance Madonnas, the collectors featured in this book all share a common approach, a shared philosophy. Their collections are an integral part of their living spaces, and their acquisitions form a natural setting for their daily lives. This book therefore invites the reader into a succession of interiors that are as varied as they are remarkable. It presents a highly individual and - unlike the impersonal perfection of so many books on interiors - 'lived-in' view of these unique spaces, which reflect the tastes and personalities of a galaxy of distinguished figures in the contemporary art world.Featured collectors include Terry de Gunzburg, Jean-Marie Rossi, Joseph Achkar and Michel Charrière, Umberto Pasti, Dominique Lévy, Pierre Bergé, Peter Marino, Robert and Cheska Vallois, Anne-Marie Gillion Crowet, Pierre Passebon, Jérôme Zieseniss, Franck Laigneau, Marie-Thérèse Perrin, Didier and Clémence Krzentowski, Christophe Decarpentrie and Abel Naessens, Alexandre Biaggi, Jane Holzer, Hervé Aaron, Pierre Le-Tan, Roberto Polo, Sabine de Gunzburg, Andres Serrano, Benjamin Steinitz, Jacques Grange.Text in French.Eric Jansen is a photojournalist specializing in interiors, the art world, travel and gardens.
