Even though she said it would never be done in her lifetime, Niki de Saint Phalle's Tarot Garden opened to the public in 1998, the same year a visitor center designed by architect Mario Botta was completed and four years before the French-American artist would die. This year marks its inclusion in my book "100 Years, 100 Landscape Designs," between Robert Irwin's Central Garden from 1997 and the Botanical Garden of Barcelona from 1999. To learn more about the famous park, I picked up this book — a companion to a 1997 exhibition in Italy — after coming across it at a used bookstore. It has plenty of photographs, sketches by Nike de Saint Phalle, essays by artists, critics, and Mario Botta, as well as interviews with people who worked on the realization of the huge, accessible sculptures. The last were particularly valuable, since they detailed just how the artist's distinctive figures were realized at such a scale, in a garden, and for perpetuity. It's one of the places in "100 Years, 100 Landscape Designs" that I've yet to see in person, though thumbing through this book again renews my interest in doing so someday soon. ( ) Frammenti di fantasia e ghiande Disteso su una collina, nelle leccete al confine tra Toscana e Lazio, il giardino dei tarocchi di Niki de Saint Falle propone i suoi frammenti di colore alle riflessioni di chi lo visita offrendo sorrisi e sorprese mescolati a luci e aromi mediterranei. Divertente come sicuramente doveva essere lei. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
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 southern-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, covered with mirrors, mosacis, multicoloured ceramics and Murano glass. This enchanted world was, for her, the ultimate achievement of her oeuvre, its culmination. The volume consists of text written by Saint Phalle herself and explaining her thoughts and intentions as well as photos of all sculptures. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
