The official illustrated history of Depeche Mode by Anton Corbijn will be released next month.
Corbijn is an important part of Depeche Mode's history -- since 1988 he's worked alongside Depeche Mode as their creative wizard and has helped establish Depeche Mode's dark allure with stunning videos, album covers, stage set designs and more.
Corbijn's visual work has been presented in a new book Depeche Mode by Anton Corbijn. The limited edition hardcover book includes photos from Corbijn's personal archives - many of these rare and/or previously unpublished - with candid and live shots from all of Depeche Mode's tours since 1988. Other formal and informal photos, sketches for album covers and stage sets are also included. Along with the photos, Corbijn's handwritten captions are present throughout.
Depeche Mode by Anton Corbijn has been fully authorized by Depeche Mode and is limited to 1986 copies. The 512 page book retails for $900 US through Taschen and is available to pre-order through their website here.
