Charlotte Salomon’s artistic testament under the Third Reich

This is the cathartic masterpiece of Charlotte Salomon. Entrusted to a friend before her deportation to Auschwitz, her gouache series lives on as an artistic feat beyond category or comparison.

This edition brings together the most important works in an autobiographical work—a shattering document of self-expression born from family tragedy.

‘Charlotte Salomon. Life? or Theatre?’ is available on TASCHEN.com and in store.

Painting for Her Life

When German artist Charlotte Salomon (1917–1943) handed her gouache series ‘Life? or Theater?’ over to a friend, she beseeched him to “take good care of it, it is my entire life.” A few months later, the five-months pregnant Charlotte was picked up by a Gestapo truck, deported to Drancy, and then on to Auschwitz, where she died upon arrival at the age 26.

The work Salomon left behind is, her pièce de résistance – in her own words, “something wildly eccentric.” A cycle of nearly 1,300 autobiographical gouaches, it combines creative force with pioneering personal narrative into one shattering document of self-expression.

The first journey into the Star Wars comic book universe

In January 1976, as George Lucas prepared to shoot his new film, then titled ‘The Star Wars’, he asked Marvel Comics to publish a comic book for the film’s release. Marvel’s initial reluctance abated once they understood that Lucas was prepared to give the rights for free. Royalties would only be paid if the comic sold more than 100,000 copies.

Upon the movie’s release in May 1977, Marvel soon realised that they had a mega-hit on their hands. The first issues sold over one million copies. Hence, ‘Star Wars’ became a monthly publication.

‘Star Wars Comics Library. Vol. 1. 1977-1979’ collects the first 23 issues in this volume, available on TASCHEN.com and in store. It is also available as a limited Collector’s Edition.

1. Publicist Charley Lippincott arranged for a Star Wars presentation at the San Diego Comic-Con (July 21–25, 1976) and sold a promotional poster by Howard Chaykin for $1.75.

5. The film was adapted over six issues, and the subsequent stories were also told over multiple issues. This original art for the cover for Star Wars No. 19, penciled by Carmine Infantino and inked by Bob Wiacek, illustrates the second part of the Wheel storyline © & ™ 2026 Lucasfilm Ltd.

The Greatest Space Fantasy of All!

After Star Wars was released in 1977 and became a global cultural phenomenon, fans clamored for more adventures. With no new film due to drop for at least a few years, Marvel’s Star Wars comic was their only source for new stories, and it became a bestseller.

The first 23 issues have now been digitally remastered, while still capturing the spirit and texture of the comics’ historic first release, and collected in an XXL-sized edition: bigger even than a Death Star.

‘Star Wars Comics Library. Vol. 1. 1977-1979’ is limited to 1,000 copies and it is available to order on TASCHEN.com.

2. The first six issues of the comic were collected in two oversize Marvel Special Editions in 1977. This is the cover to the second issue, collecting issues 4 to 6, penciled by Howard Chaykin and inked by Tony DeZuniga © & ™ 2026 Lucasfilm Ltd

A grand tour of the USA through the magazine’s rich archives

The ‘National Geographic. The United States of America’ takes us from the ski slopes of Colorado to the jazz bars of New Orleans, from the luxurious Hollywood Hills to a barbershop in Kentucky, and from Manhattan’s Chinatown to a river baptism in Mississippi.

Along the way, the tour takes in the gamut of photographic evolution, shifting from early black-and-white and autochrome images of the 1920s and 1930s into midcentury Kodachrome, then the harder-edged reportage of the 1970s and 1980s, and finally the digital images of the late 1990s.

Purr-fect!

Long before the Internet and , Chandoha was enrapturing the public with his fuzzy subjects. From advertisements to greetings cards, jigsaw puzzles to pet-food packaging, his images combined a genuine affection for the creatures, a strong work ethic, and flawless technique.

‘Walter Chandoha. Cats. Photographs 1942–2018’ is a fitting tribute not just to these beguiling creatures but also to a remarkable photographer whose compassion can be felt in each and every frame.

You can find it on TASCHEN.com and in store.

Early in his career, Chandoha sought the advice of a Ringling Brothers tiger trainer who shared these three tenets of animal training: “To get the shot, you need three things: sound, patience, and food.”
