Founded by Benedikt Taschen in Cologne, Germany, in 1980, Taschen evolved from a small comic book shop into a global publishing powerhouse. The brand’s mission is to produce innovative and beautifully designed art books at accessible prices. Taschen is celebrated for its eclectic and sometimes audacious catalog, which ranges from art and architecture to photography, pop culture, and erotica. The company democratized the art book market with its affordable and compact “Basic Art” series, which has introduced millions to the work of major artists.
