Inspired by Antoni Gaudí's Parc Güell in Barcelona and

the

Mannerist

park

Sacro

Bosco

in

Bomarzo,

Niki

de

Saint

Phalle,

together

with

her

partner

Jean

Tinguely,

created her sculpture park in Garavicchio, in the south- ern-most

part

of

Tuscany.

In

this

vast

garden,

the

22

cards of the tarot's Major Arcana are represented in the

form

of

enormous

sculptures,

12

to

15

meters

high,

made of painted polyester and reinforced concrete, cov- ered with mirrors, mosacis, multicolored ceramics and

Murano

glass.

This

enchanted

world

was,

for

her,

the

ultimate achievement of her oeuvre, its culmination.

Including

texts

written

by

Saint

Phalle

herself

and

ex- plaining

her

thoughts

and

intentions

in

creating

the

sculptures,

this

book

is

a

concise

introduction

to

the

garden.

Moreover,

it

is

a

piece

of

art

in

its

design,

in- spired and created by Saint Phalle herself.
