Atmosphere, atmosphere!

What a better place to launch Paris, Portrait of a City than the City of Lights itself? In the night of December, 16th, we hosted the loveliest book signing party in the presence of a radiant Jean-Claude Gautrand. Our Store was packed for two hours with friends and family, photo lovers, art directors, important members of the press, collaborators and representatives from archives and private collections. Together, we celebrated this moving result of four years of work. A mini-exhibition of Jean-Claude Gautrand’s own black and white photographs from Paris whereof some are featured in the book contributed to the poetic atmosphere (GADCOLLECTION).


Selected Quotations from International Media

"La libreria della celebre casa editrice, disegnata da Philippe Starck, sembra un quadro vivente. Merito della vetrina senza infissi. Sull'isola centrale tutte le novità, dall'arte alla fotografia, all'arredamento."
Condé Nast Traveller, Milano
Italy
"Ses livres y ont le beau rôle, mais si ce lieu ne désemplit pas, c'est qu'il a un supplément d'âme."
Paris Match, Paris
France
"Les plus beaux livres d'art, et les plus originaux, c'est souvent la maison Taschen qui les édite."
Elle, Paris
France
"Bijou de librairie...Taschen laisse aux autres librairies l'atmosphère grisâtre, mixte de poussière et d'éclairage chagrinant. Le plus génial des éditeurs européens a confié à Philippe Starck le design de sa première boutique parisienne".
France Soir, Paris
