German publisher TASCHEN produces some of the world's most beautiful art books — books as art objects. Serindia Gallery presents a selection of Taschen's finest titles, including some of the most spellbinding Art and Collector's Editions. These exquisite art editions are shown at this exhibition, including signed prints by famous photographers, fashion designers, and film directors. Serindia Gallery brings them together to create this unique show which serves as a visual guide for the collectors to start his or her art library and for book enthusiasts to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of art books — one of the publishing world's greatest accomplishments. Some of TASCHEN's books are those you would "sneak a glance around the store to make sure nobody is looking." This exhibition is one of the few chances, especially in Asia, to see these amazing book productions.

Designer Philippe Starck designed TASCHEN's flagship stores. In this exhibition, the gallery also features Philippe Starck's latest venture with German furniture house DEDON. Wonderful chair creations PLAY with DEDON by Philippe Starck will be available, along with the DEDON movie campaign shot by renowned photographer Bruce Weber.

In addition, TASCHEN's forthcoming titles include PLEATS PLEASE by Issey Miyake and Advertising from the Mad Men Era to celebrate the new season of the Mad Men series.
