Pop up GalleryWith Lisa Grue & Wendy PlovmandLast night TASCHEN Copenhagen joined in the busy celebrations of the opening of the Copenhagen Fashion Week with a Pop Up Gallery and book signing event with two of Denmark’s well known artists and illustrators, Lisa Grue and Wendy Plovmand, both appearing in Illustration Now! Portraits. The artists both displayed their beautiful, colourful and edgy prints using a mixture of flowers, animals, patterns and a play with words. Not only did they both exhibit their framed prints but they also gave us all a taste of how they use other materials, Lisa with her poetic plates, t-shirts and bags and Wendy with her delicate silk scarves. It was a tasteful event mixed with the thirst quenching, red hot seductive Campari drinks with its special twang and the cool sweetness of the Coca Cola Light bottles designed by fashion guru Karl Lagerfeld which were our drinks sponsors for the event. Around 100 curious customers of all ages popped in to see what was going on, enjoying a cooling drink whilst browsing around the shop/pop up gallery to meet and to talk to the artists and getting their copy of Illustration Now! Portraits signed. The atmosphere in the shop was high and cheerful and left everyone with a smile on their face. A big thank you goes to Lisa Grue and Wendy Plovmand from all of us here at Taschen Copenhagen for taking part in this event and for exhibiting their amazing art. |
Selected Quotations from International Media

"TASCHEN Heaven. "I think I just died and went to bookheaven" blev overhørt i krogene ved TASCHENS åbningsreception i går aftes. Selveste Benedikt Taschen, forlagets tyske grundlægger og nu multimillionær, brillerede med sin tilstedeværelse i den tætpakkede forretning på Østergade. Men flagship storen er også den første af sin slags i Norden og den kun syvende i hele verden. Philippe Starck er hjernen bag den ultra gennemførte og luksuriøse indretning, som gemmer på en sand skat af modebøger, der nu er samlet på ét sted og indenfor farligt kort rækkevidde.TASCHEN, Østergade 2A, 1100 Kbh.

"Det handler om at elske sine bøger. Benedikt Taschen er publicist til fingerspidserne. Udgiver af ekstraordinære bøger om sex, antropologi og kunst. Han var i København for at inspicere sit nye showroom på Strøget. (...) Rummet er smukt indrettet af Benedikt Taschens ven designeren Philippe Starck. Langs væggene står mørke mahognireoler, der alle krones af en flammende bronzefarvet lampeskærm. Lokalet ender ned ad tre trin i en lille rotunde med et ottekantet ovenlys og en pragtfuld moderne bronzelysekrone over et præsentationsbord i sort klaverlak. (...) TASCHEN udgiver bøger om og med visuel kunst. Bøger om alt fra fodfetich til film- og kunstnermonografier, design og arkitektur. Det er ikke noget, de vil ændre på, men de vil blive ved at forandre sig inden for rammerne."
