America's Cup. Marc Newson Art Edition

A unique collaboration between Taschen and Louis Vuitton, America's Cup. Marc Newson Art Edition is a celebration of the daring, dedication and vision that define the most coveted prize in the world of sailing. Curated texts by more than a dozen guest contributors, including illustrious yacht racers, offer a fascinating journey through the history of the regatta from its inception in 1851, retracing more than 170 years of tradition, innovation and top-level performance – values that resonate with the heritage of Louis Vuitton. These compelling accounts are accompanied by rare photographs of famous boats behind the scenes and in competition, along with blueprints, historical documents, and an illustrated index of all the winners. This magnificent book is available in three editions: the trade edition, as well as a special collector’s edition and this exclusive art edition of only 175 copies. Designed and signed by Marc Newson, it features a sail fabric cover with a custom LV metal closure, and comes with an elegant carbon fiber bookstand shaped like the keel of a yacht.
