Taschen |
|
| Founded in 1980 by Benedikt Taschen, the publishing house known as TASCHEN has proven to be quite the innovative, sexy, and taboo business it set out to be. Becoming a significant force against mainstream bookstores, TASCHEN helps bring potentially controversial volumes into production. Although prices can start at $10 for a simple small art book, it's the Limited Edition pieces that capture our attention. From the $1500 Helmut Newton Retrospective, to the much anticipated $6000 Peter Beard Series, each TASCHEN book brings a piece of culture and glamour to coffee tables all around. |
