Study 185: Artist Tarot Decks: When Reinvention Hollows the Archetype

from Objects of Affection Collection — Studies · host Objects of Affection Collection

This study reads the proliferation of artist-designed editions, on view at the Morgan Library's 2026 exhibition 'Tarot! Renaissance Symbols, Modern Visions,' as a case of speculative velocity overtaking narrative permanence; each new deck claims the archetype while hollowing the system it borrows from.
