Norman Mailer, Bert Stern: Marilyn Monroe - A Beverly Hills CelebrationThe celebration of TASCHEN’s latest collector’s edition, Norman Mailer, Bert Stern: Marilyn Monroe, continued in the night of December, 7th as we hosted legendary photographer Bert Stern for a second event; this time at the TASCHEN Store Beverly Hills. Following last night’s private reception at the Hotel Bel-Air, tonight all TASCHEN and Stern fans were invited to attend the Beverly Hills soiree for an intimate Q&A between Bert Stern and Shannah Laumaeister.The crowd of 200 eager fans gathered downstairs enjoying wine, cheese, and all things TASCHEN while Bert conducted private interviews upstairs. For the second night in a row, President of the Norman Mailer Center, Lawrence Schiller introduced Bert as the crowd gathered closely to hear the intimate details of “the last sitting”. Long time friend and filmmaker, Shannah Laumeister, took Bert on a trip down memory lane, asking him about his experiences shooting America’s most prolific sex symbol. |

"Starck's Californian Dream! His sexy and intelligent world is now in Los Angeles. TASCHEN, world's leading art publisher opens its store in Los Angeles. Shining walnut floor, bronze book shelf and Arbert Oehlen's collages on the walls and the ceilings look gorgeous and sophisticated."

"Bound to raise eyebrows in tony Beverly Hills, TASCHEN's new bookstore on Beverly Drive is chock full of titillating fare, from vintage nudie books to outrageously graphic art tomes."

"A pretty stylish way to spend an afternoon."

"Designed by Philippe Starck, the store is a luxe version of a wood-paneled library from old Europe, said the owner Benedikt Taschen. A long, narrow space, it is lined floor to ceiling in American walnut, with bronze-veneered fixtures and paintings by Albert Oehlen, collaging images from Taschen's art, design, and erotic books."
New York Times, New YorkUnited States |

"[Benedikt] Taschen, for his part, chose Starck to design the store because "I wanted the Sistine Chapel," he says by phone. The space is intended not as "a cold fashion boutique but a place where people like to stay" - and "hopefully buy some books." The store may not be exactly Vatican style, but it will have art across the ceiling-displayed in frames above mahogany, glass and bronze interior that's intended, its promotional material says, to give it an "Old Europe-style" look. When the store opens next month, it will also be the only bookstore in Beverly Hills. Starck envisions it as "the heart and life of intelligence."
