Luxury art book publisher Taschen turns books into collectible works of art. Founded in Cologne, Germany, in 1980 by Benedikt Taschen, the brand started as a comic book publisher before evolving into a respected name in global publishing. Taschen is known for producing high-quality books on art, photography, fashion, architecture, film, and pop culture. To stay relevant in the industry, the company focuses on visual excellence, daring subject matter, and cultural importance.
Taschen has worked with some of the world’s most iconic photographers, artists, and cultural figures. Collector-edition books that blur the line between literature and fine art include titles on Van Gogh, David LaChapelle, Annie Leibovitz, and Muhammad Ali. Taschen’s design aesthetic is bold, refined, and editorially daring. Books often come in vibrant, oversized formats, boxed sets, or with unique features like fold outs or slipcases. Whether it’s a glossy archive that dives into adidas’s footwear collection, examining groundbreaking silhouettes and epic moments like the Taschen The Adidas Archive. The Footwear Collection Book or an homage to M.C. Escher's iconic graphic works, the design is always premium, with attention to tactile and visual detail.
Taschen has been instrumental in preserving and showcasing visual culture. The books act as time capsules as they archive unique subjects with meticulous research and stunning presentation.
