“In November 2020, Depeche Mode were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and Dave Gahan, accepting the honour, said: \u201cI\u2019d like to thank Anton Corbijn who thank God came in at the right time and actually made us look cool.\u201d Also in the fall of 2020, TASCHEN released the limited edition Depeche Mode by Anton Corbijn (81\u201318) signed by Depeche Mode and Anton Corbijn, and it became one of the fastest selling collector\u2019s editions in the publishing company\u2019s history. This pocket-sized and wallet-friendly edition is a testament to Corbijn\u2019s unique vision, and indeed \u201ccool\u201d as Gahan acknowledged so movingly in his speech; an illustrated history of how Corbijn, who became in 1986 the band\u2019s de facto creative director, and helped cement Depeche Mode\u2019s reputation as the biggest cult band in the world.Featuring over 150 photographs from Corbijn\u2019s extensive archives, including formal and informal portraits from places such as Madrid, Hamburg, the California desert, Prague and Marrakech; a multitude of off-the-cuff, candid images; and stunning live shots from all their tours since 1988 right up to 2023. Created with the full collaboration of the band, who share some insights on working with Corbijn, Depeche Mode by Anton Corbijn trumpets how one man\u2019s original aesthetic, that has encompassed all of their photography, most of their music videos, album graphics and set designs, helped shape the band\u2019s enduring popularity. Reflecting on his role in Depeche Mode, Corbijn recalls in the book\u2019s introduction: \u201cA lot of it came down to me, and I wanted it to be right for them. I wanted to think for them. To be great for them.\u201d This book is a tribute to the depth and breadth of that greatness, a celebration of one of the most creative and enduring collaborations in rock history.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
