The Pedro Almodóvar Archives NY Launch at TASCHEN New York

To continue the celebration of The Pedro Almodóvar Archives, TASCHEN once again hosted acclaimed filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar for the second time in less than a week, this time at the TASCHEN Store New York. Similar to last week’s full capacity Los Angeles launch, an electric New York crowd packed the store in anticipation of meeting Pedro and getting their book signed.

The night began with Pedro conducting private interviews downstairs while many of his family, friends, press, celebrities, and VIP’s gathered with him before going upstairs to the flashing of cameras and applause. Long time friend and Publisher/Editor in Chief of Paper Magazine Kim Hastreiter gave a very heartfelt introduction in which she reminisced about Pedro nearly 20 years ago, their early days in New York together, and how his first films cost him virtually nothing to make. She then turned the questions to Pedro asking him about his future and who his current favorite actors and actresses are. The Q&A session was concluded with Pedro’s promise to be back at TASCHEN 30 years from now to celebrate an updated Pedro Almodóvar Archives, much to the delight of the crowd.
