Daniel Weissbach aka COST aka DTagno

Daniel Weissbach aka COST aka DTagno. Daniel Weissbach started graffiti in 1988. During the 90s he developed an individual and recognizable personal style as TEKNO/TAGNO, which came into its own in the next decade when he changed his tag to COST. With an unmatched flow in his tags, throw-ups and pieces, he became one of Berlin's leading artists in his genre. In addition to being the founder of the well-known DIAMONDS crew in the mid-2000s, he also began experimenting with different forms and tools to create artwork, mainly under the alias DTagna.

In addition, around 2010 he had a successful career as an artist under his own name, Daniel Weissbach, with several international exhibitions.

In 2020, Daniel tragically passed away. Daniel Weissbach aka COST aka DTagna is an attempt to create a reminder of one of the most creative painters and artists of his generation. The book balances the trinity of his identities and allows the reader to respectfully get to know Daniel Weissbach, COST and DTagna and the various works associated with the three aliases.

The content ranges from sketches to works on canvas, legal and illegal works, doodles and exhibition views, tags, throw ups or handwritten notes.

A wide variety of his works are displayed in this beautifully produced hardcover book and are accompanied by texts and essays by Vincent Grunwald, Gregor Jansen, Olga Hohmann, Thomas Max Waldmann, Jöran Bellin-Lindberg, Robert Kaltenhäuser and Iris Hempelmann. Daniel Weissbach alias COST alias DTagna is a 528-page exhibition catalogue, blackbook, collection of works, archive and tribute all at once.
