The Tarot Garden, situated in Italy, is a sculpture park, planned and created by Niki de Saint Phalle. It is her very personal vision of the personalities of the tarot-game: the world, the fool, the hermit, death, the wheel of fortune.
Inspired by Antoni Gaudís Parc Güell in Barcelona and the mannerist Bomarzo Park, Niki de Saint Phalle created her sculpture park in Garavicchio, in the southern-most part of Tuscany. In this vast garden, the 22 cards of the tarots Major Arcana are represented in the form of enormous sculptures, 12 to 15 meters high. This enchanted world was, for her, the ultimate achievement of her oeuvre, its culmination. When she died in 2002, she left the Tarot Garden uncompleted. The book it is a piece of art in its design, inspired and created by Saint Phalle herself.
