Der Tarot-Garten

"The Tarot Garden" is a fascinating specialized book that documents the impressive world of the sculpture park created by Niki de Saint Phalle. Inspired by Antoni Gaudí's Parc Güell and the Mannerist park of Bomarzo, the garden showcases the 22 Major Arcana of the Tarot in the form of monumental sculptures that stand between 12 and 15 meters tall. These artworks, made from painted polyester and reinforced concrete, are richly adorned with mosaics, mirrors, and colorful ceramic pieces, creating a vibrant and creative atmosphere. Located in the south of Tuscany, the Tarot Garden represents the pinnacle of Saint Phalle's artistic creation. The book not only provides a visual documentation of the garden's development but also offers insights into the artist's personal interpretations. It is an essential work for art lovers and provides a deeper appreciation for the connection between art and nature.
