Hotel du Cap Eden-Roc, Waterskiing in Cap d'Antibes, France
By Slim Aarons
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Immerse yourself in the essence of 1960s Riviera luxury with Slim Aarons' vibrant photograph, Hotel Du Cap-Eden-Roc. This striking image, a token of nautical elegance, showcases a series of exquisite red vintage boats, ready to glide through the waters of the French Riviera. Captured in the summer of 1969, this photograph is a symphony of color and activity, featuring the opulent lifestyle at the iconic Hotel Du Cap-Eden-Roc. The rich wooden finish of the vintage boats, named Sirocco, Eleven-Eleven, and Sunny III, gleams under the Mediterranean sun, reflecting a time when leisure was an art form perfected through timeless style. In the foreground, we see the boats moored gracefully by the dock, their polished brass fittings and vibrant red hulls drawing the eye with an irresistible allure. The scene is alive with movement; a waterskier cuts a swathe through the azure blue, trailed by a boat that slices through the calm sea, creating a dynamic contrast of stillness and speed. This Slim Aarons photograph not only captures the visual splendor of the era but also embodies the spirit of the French Riviera's high life - a life of leisure, luxury, and endless summer days spent on the water. Perfect for collectors looking to infuse their space with the timeless chic of the Côte d'Azur. Add this classic Slim Aarons piece to your collection and let it transport you to the glamorous world of 1960s waterskiing, where elegance and adventure sail in tandem on the serene waters of Cap d'Antibes.

By Slim Aarons
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Holidaymakers in Armacao dos Buzios, Brazil, January 1983. On a sparkling day, Slim Aarons captures a glamorous scene of vintage sunbathers relaxing in stylish bikinis and swimsuits by a brilliant turquoise pool. A woman approaches in a retro black and white patterned tank suit and sun hat. Vibrant red orange flowers circle the pool, and holidaymakers enjoy tropical cocktails. In the midground, a festive boat cruises by. In the background, the ocean catches the light, fading from teal to royal blue, a subtle contrast with the turquoise water of the pool, and the soft white clouds and delft blue sky above. A brilliant green maritime forest and neutral cabana with Spanish, or Double Roman, roof tiles provide shade, and compositionally frame the ocean vista...
