This lavish fourth volume in Abrams’ Slim Aarons collection revels in this photographer’s decades-long love affair with Italy. From breathtaking aerials of the Sicilian countryside to intimate portraits of celebrities and high society taken in magnificent villas, Slim Aarons: La Dolce Vita captures the essence of “the good life.” Slim Aarons first visited Italy as a combat photographer during World War II and later moved to Rome to shoot for Life magazine, yet even after relocating to New York, he would return to Italy almost every year for the rest of his life.
The images collected here document the aristocracy, cultural elite, and beautiful people, such as Marcello Mastroianni, Ursula Andress, Joan Fontaine, and Tyrone Power, who lived la dolce vita in Italy’s most fabulous places during the last 50 years. The introduction by Christopher Sweet shares stories from Aarons’s years in Italy and new insights about his life and career.
Also available from Slim Aarons: Slim Aarons: Women, Slim Aarons: Once Upon a Time, Slim Aarons: A Place in the Sun, and Poolside with Slim Aarons.

I am very excited to share with you something that has been a dream of mine for years. Over the past couple of years, I have been working on creating a career retrospective that I’m so excited to finally get to share with all of you! The book is called Gray Malin: The Essential Collection and celebrates the first decade of my career—from how I got started to behind the scenes stories of some of my most iconic work. It even includes images that have never been released!
I wanted to create a book that would be just as inspiring as it is beautiful. As you read through the over 350 pages, you will discover an inspiring story about chasing your dreams and taking risks. As you can see, the cover features one of my favorite images of all time, Llamas Black and White Balloons, which I shot on the salt flats in Bolivia. You will also notice the book is wrapped in premium black book cloth, which will hold up nicely for years and won’t show any dirt or marks. It also has this fun little magenta ribbon that adds a pop of color and of course helps keep your place as you read along!
