The leading name in coffee table book publishing, Taschen has produced visually stunning hardback books since the 1980s. Founded in Cologne by Benedikt Taschen, the brand began as a publisher of comic books before turning its attention to publishing the work of artists. Today, the brand continues to celebrate influential artists through its luxury books, as well as publishing on topics such as music, fashion, comics, and popular culture. The strong aesthetic of their covers, exquisite images, and well-researched text make Taschen’s tomes a coffee table must-have.
