Psychedelic Now

Description

From Assouline’s special series, the Icons Collection, a celebration of the art de vivre which puts to page exotic adventures, glamorous destinations, and fascinating characters in trademark Assouline style. With titles to transport readers to la dolce vita, this collection features bestselling tomes sharing locations, lifestyles, and inspiring movements spanning centuries.

We are experiencing a psychedelic renaissance not seen since the 1960s, but today psychedelics emphasize mental balance, creativity and positivity, and it could prove a powerful tool to help elevate people’s consciousness to work together to solve global problems.

This colorful volume explores the contemporary psychedelic aesthetic unfolding in the cultural zeitgeist across fashion, art, design, architecture and lifestyle. Consider Yayoi Kusama’s bright polka-dotted fantasy worlds, Marni x No Vacancy Inn’s vibrant beach Africana, artist duo FriendsWithYou’s ecstatic rainbows and candy-colored kawaii creatures or Burning Man habitué Bjarke Ingels’s utopian optic architecture.

Author Julia Chaplin elaborates four distinct themes: Rainbow Utopists (rapper A$AP Rocky, designer Marco Ribeiro), Afrofuturists (musician George Clinton, rapper-designer Kid Cudi), Cosmic Technophiles (stage designer Es Devlin, artist Leo Villareal) and Spiritualizers (artists Olafur Eliasson and James Turrell), all dreaming and working toward a brighter world.
