About TASCHEN

TASCHEN is a leading publishing house known for its exquisite collaborations with the world’s most influential artists, photographers, musicians, designers, and pop-culture icons. Founded by Benedikt Taschen in 1980, TASCHEN began as a small comic book store in Cologne, Germany. From modest beginnings – and 25 square meters of usable space – TASCHEN pioneered a new formula for making and marketing visual books, and today is one of the most respected and desired art book publishers in the world. TASCHEN’s program comprises unique projects discovered and nurtured by its team of editors, plus larger-than-life celebrations of the iconic figures that have shaped our culture. From its accessible Basic Art series to highly collectable limited editions, TASCHEN is committed to making the best books on the planet, always showcased in an original or unexpected format. Setting trends rather than following them, TASCHEN is celebrated for its history of championing underground art and culture movements and for making household names of forgotten artists.Read their story
