Product information "Coffee Table Book San Francisco"
Where fog meets freedom – and stories linger on every page
San Francisco has always done things its own way – and this remarkable coffee table book captures exactly that spirit. “San Francisco: Portrait of a City”, published by TASCHEN and curated by Reuel Golden and Richie Unterberger, is a large-format hardcover (approx. 25 x 34 cm) with a substantial weight of around 4.05 kg, designed to be both seen and felt. Across 480 pages, a rich visual narrative unfolds: iconic photography, rare archival images and powerful snapshots tell the story of a city shaped by innovation, rebellion and cultural diversity. Presented in multiple languages (English, German, French), this vibrant, full-colour volume doesn’t just show San Francisco – it brings it to life.
A city portrait beyond the obvious
This is not a simple collection of postcard views. It’s an immersive journey into the evolving identity of a city that continuously reinvents itself. From its early days to the counterculture movement, from jazz scenes to Silicon Valley, every page reflects transformation, creativity and individuality. What makes this book truly compelling is the way it blends photography with cultural storytelling, creating a layered and engaging experience that invites you to pause, explore and reflect.
When publishing becomes an art form
For more than 40 years, TASCHEN has been redefining what art books can be. With a strong focus on design, quality and cultural relevance, each publication becomes an object in its own right. “San Francisco: Portrait of a City” is no exception – carefully curated, beautifully produced and crafted to leave a lasting impression in both content and form.
Designed to live with you
Placed on a coffee table, styled on a shelf or given as a thoughtful gift, this book integrates seamlessly into modern, design-conscious interiors. It adds depth, personality and a sense of narrative to your space – quietly turning everyday moments into something a little more inspiring. And perhaps, somewhere between its pages, you’ll find your own connection to the city by the bay.
