Taschen

Taschen is a renowned luxury art book publisher, established in 1980 by Benedikt Taschen in Cologne, Germany. Known for its innovative approach to art publishing, Taschen specializes in making lesser-seen and niche art accessible to a wider audience, including works on queer art, historical erotica, fetishistic imagery, and avant-garde photography. Alongside these unique offerings, the publisher is celebrated for its extensive catalog of art photography, painting, design, fashion, advertising history, film, and architecture. Taschen’s publications range from oversized collector’s editions to pocket-sized books, appealing to a diverse readership. Notable for its "Basic Art" series, launched in 1985 with a title on Salvador Dalí, Taschen has expanded to include other themes like architecture and lifestyle, with books available in multiple languages. Over the decades, the company has played a pivotal role in democratizing art appreciation while maintaining its status as a leader in luxury publishing.
