Tarocchi perduti di S. Sindici      1988 S. Sindici      Italy                                                   Art Medium: Pen line with coloured pencil. Description: The Tarocchi Perduti consists of five decks by four separate artists. Andrea Forte believed she had recovered the "lost" structure of the tarot, and commissioned these four artists to create a tarot based on these ideas. This involved extending the arcana to 35 and introducing a number of male and female versions of The Lovers, the Magician, Hanged Man, Hermit and Fool. The essence of Andrea Forte's concept is perhaps to balance the male and female symbolism.
