TASCHEN is a leading art-book publisher known for its dazzling and audacious world of eye-catching coffee table books spanning architecture, aphrodisia, art, design, fashion, photography, pop culture, style, and travel. Working closely alongside acclaimed creative partners, the company has published thousands of titles in dozens of languages. From the quintessential Basic Art series to SUMO-sized Collector’s Editions, TASCHEN’s mission remains to be committed to diversity and innovation. Whatever the subject and whatever the price – from $10 to $10,000 – the company strives to treat every topic with the same respect, and to produce, design, and package each of its books beautifully and uniquely.
