Description
The Tarot Garden is Niki de Saint Phalle's masterpiece sculpture park in Tuscany, inspired by Antoni Gaudí's Parc Güell and Sacro Bosco. This enchanting world features 22 enormous sculptures of the tarot's Major Arcana, made from painted polyester and reinforced concrete, covered in mirrors, mosaics, ceramics, and Murano glass.
Written by Niki de Saint Phalle herself, this book provides a concise introduction to the garden, exploring her thoughts and intentions behind creating these iconic sculptures. The result is not only a fascinating insight into an artist's vision but also a beautifully designed piece of art.
