Phaidon
Phaidon was founded in Vienna by Béla Horovitz, Fritz Ungar and Ludwig Goldscheider with a simple, then new idea: to make elegantly produced art books at prices that more people could pay, and the house says that a hundred years ago it invented the art book. It describes itself today as the leading global publisher of the creative arts, with books on art, photography, design, architecture, fashion, food and travel, plus illustrated children's books, under the belief that books should enlighten, delight and inspire. Artspace joined the group in 2014 and the American house Monacelli in 2020. Photography is one of its many subjects, and its photography list sits next to the monographs and surveys of the other arts.
