Dear Bookworms,
When I was ten, I fell in love
with a duck. His first name
was Donald. Every day after
school, I went to the local thrift
stores searching for rare duck
comics missing from my collec-
tion. When I found out that
Donald had many other admir-
ers, I was not jealous, I was
ducking happy, and a few years
later started a mail order busi-
ness selling old comic books. 1980. After years of collecting,
18-years-old Benedikt settles down
After I finished school, I opened in his own shop, selling a huge
selection of new and rare collectors’
a small store in Cologne selling comics.
old and new comics from all over
the world. The good duck brought me good luck and
I learned everything about capitalism from Carl Barks
and his characters Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge.
In 1985, we published our first original
TASCHEN book Picasso. My second
love was art and knowing that great art
books were expensive, the challenge was
making them fresh, affordable and
accessible. Thank God, Donald and
Picasso, and all you millions of loyal and
discerning readers, that things turned
out so well. We are still in business
and having fun, so come and join us in
celebrating 35 years in the Gutenberg
Galaxy.
Stay tuned.

“Surely TASCHEN’s Klimt: The Complete
Paintings. Each unfolding page — with its
strokeable surface of intense paintwork and
its meld of Byzantine imagery and Venetian
mosaics — brings to life the exotic eroticism
of an exceptional artist.”

I love the mysterious beauty of
Darren Almond’s Fullmoon landscapes.
His images evoke a romantic sense of
longing and a feeling of stillness that is
rare in today’s frenetic world.

“My favorite has got to be The Rolling
Stones. Iconic then, iconic now. They wrote
the book on what it meant to be rock stars:
how to look, dress, behave, and their music
was the soundtrack to my entire life. They
were the first rock and roll aristocrats.”
“Peter has always been Peter Beard. He is a dAvid
unique, modern man, not seen since the likes

of the 19th-century explorer (not the actor)
Richard Burton or the plant collector George
Forrest. He is also a great image-maker,
half Hemingway, half
Finch Hatton. This
leather book brings all of
Peter’s magic into one
very beautiful volume.”

“It is a modular system which can be easily adapted and
refreshed to suit different and multiple launches or layouts,
giving the ability to create bespoke interior layouts for any
store environment or location. Visually it was important
for me to keep the overall look and feel quite neutral to
really showcase the books, highlighting and displaying
a select few within a colored insert.” — Marc Newson
