Who does not recall seeing, at least, the name of this publisher?
Taschen publishing house has become a very prominent Publisher. It all began with Benedikt Taschen being a 15-year-old boy, selling comics on the street and second-hand’s door to door. His career started with him opening a comic shop, which became in time a three-storey building and, afterwards, shops all over the world. He started publishing his comic collection, then specializing in reprinting old publications that ranged from comics to, artistical photography, painting, design, fashion, publicity’s history, cinema and architecture.
The company has known how to handle the potentially controversial art to the bigger public, publishing it alongside its most conventional books.
The success they have experienced is due, obviously, to its wide variety of concepts and topics. You may be able to find pocket-sized books next to massive publications. Taschen has become the publisher of the major artists of our time. Its international-based team has edited, designed, produced, promoted and sold more than two thousand titles to this date.
Since they started their work as a kind of cultural archaeologists, back in 1980, TASCHEN has become a synonym for affordable publications, helping bookworms all over the world in creating their own art, anthropology and aphrodisia library for a very reasonable price.
In 2020 they are celebrating 40 years of incredible books, keeping themselves faithful to the foundational credo of the company.
