John Chamberlain’s artistic legacy is defined by more than his picturesque aluminum sculptures; his innovative sense of creativity, service in World War II and inherently loving nature making him an influence for the ages. Publishing company Assouline teamed up with the John Chamberlain estate to release Living With Chamberlain in April of 2025, an intimate look into the visionary’s life fit for coffee tables everywhere.

Including a foreword by American fashion designer Rick Owens, author Julie Belcove explores the stories and anecdotes of those whose lives have been permanently touched by Chamberlain’s own. Living With Chamberlain emphasizes the worldwide footprint left behind by his creative visions by melding together unique personal experiences, significant exchanges with his dynamic sculptures and day-to-day interactions with his work.

To celebrate the release of Living With Chamberlain, 200 exclusive limited edition issues were made available for those who are collectors at heart. These unique copies rest in a luxurious clamshell case faceted with sculpture-like metal details, composed of materials from Chamberlain’s own studio. Being one-of-a-kind, this elegant edition offers a rare chance to own a physical piece of Chamberlain’s historic legacy.

Abandoned automobiles were the source of Chamberlain’s artistic inspiration, and unbeknownst to him, would serve as a challenge to traditional sculpture methods and transform the contemporary art industry as a whole. Chamberlain’s strikingly colorful pieces took pleasingly distorted forms as the abstract-expressionist style allowed him to manipulate his metallic works to perfection.

Chamberlain’s clever works of art are a direct reflection of the person he was and the life he lived. Unique, transformative, colorful and inspirational all at the same time. Living With Chamberlain celebrates the impact of himself and his artwork through conversations with individuals that shared the space of his personal and professional spheres, giving an equally efficacious insight into both of his worlds.

You can find the standard edition of Living With Chamberlain on John Chamberlain and Assouline's online shops, and the special edition clamshell case exclusively through Assouline.
