Taschen

It specialises in books on art, fashion, photography, architecture and pop culture.

Taschen began by publishing a series of comic books, known as ‘Taschen Comic’. Its ambition then shifted to publishing art books that were richly illustrated, innovative and meticulously designed. In doing so, Taschen revolutionised the publishing world, making high-quality art books accessible at the best prices. Subsequently, Taschen went on to offer art books featuring numerous high-quality illustrations, which were innovative, perfectly designed and reasonably priced.

Taschen also owes its reputation to publications on themes usually overlooked by traditional bookshops and fringe subjects such as the history of erotic or pornographic photography, or gay art. The Taschen brand has had a significant influence by bringing these controversial subjects to the fore, whilst at the same time offering the general public its other publications: reprints of comic books, street art, rare books, French literature, artists’ books, books on painters or photographers, atlases, art history, poetry, fine art photography, contemporary art, design, fashion, the history of advertising, cinema and architecture, and much more besides.

The Petite Collection Art is a popular series comprising around 300 volumes – artist monographs – ranging from the most renowned artists to those working in fields such as design, architecture or illustration. This collection is one of the best-selling series. The photographs are of high quality, making each of these books a true art book.
