Taschen organizes its private sale twice a year, which is always a smashing success. Take for example Sumo, a glossy retrospective on the work of one of the greatest photographers ever to have lived, Helmut Newton. There is no publisher quite like Taschen, who has made a habit of collecting iconic books. This book, worth $12,500, is the second most valuable in history. Taschen continues to surprise us with the extraordinary quality of their information and unexpected design. “The greatest, heaviest, and most brilliant thing ever published in the history of civilization,” according to Der Spiegel is the book GOAT, 700 pages dedicated to boxer Mohamed Ali. From fetishism to queer art with erotic photography in between, this German publisher quickly earned its reputation by collaborating with magazines like Playboy.īut where the publisher truly sets itself apart is the publication of out-of-the-ordinary books. Going where few publishers have dared go before, Taschen soon became an essential publisher for subjects said to be “on the fringes of society”. Founded in Cologne in 1980 by Benedikt Taschen, the eponymous publisher’s ambition is to publish illustrative and innovative books about art and fashion.
