DESCRIPTION:May 26 - Oct 4\, 2026\nTarot began as a card game. The three ea
 rliest surviving decks—all from 15th-century Milan\, commissioned by the
  Dukes of Sforza and Visconti—were hand-painted luxury objects with no p
 articular mystical intent\, their imagery drawn from the allegorical tradi
 tions of Renaissance court culture. The divination practices came later\, 
 as the cards circulated and accumulated meaning. The Morgan is staging a d
 ouble exhibition that traces both halves of this history. The first part i
 s devoted to the original Renaissance decks. The second part takes the leg
 endary 1909 Rider-Waite-Smith deck as its starting point and follows the i
 magery’s adoption by André Breton\, Leonora Carrington\, Remedios Varo\
 , Niki de Saint Phalle\, and Betye Saar\, among others\, for whom the taro
 t offered an alternative to the strictures of modernist aesthetics.
