Salvador Dalí’s Surreal Tarot Card Deck To Be Released Again 30 Years After It Was First Designed

萨尔瓦多·达利的超现实塔罗牌甲板在它首次设计30年后再次发布

Salvador Dalí, one of the most famous surrealists is probably best remembered for his flamboyant personality, “Lobster Telephone”, melting clocks and his ‘always pointing towards the sky’ mustache. But only a handful of the artist’s biggest fans are familiar with the virtuoso’s fascination with the occult. One of the most prominent examples of his knack for the supernatural is the deck of Tarot cards he was commissioned to create for the James Bond film, Live and Let Die. However, the cards never appeared in the picture.

萨尔瓦多·达利，最著名的超现实主义艺术家之一，最令人难忘的可能是他张扬的个性，“龙虾电话”，融化的时钟和他“总是指向天空”的胡子。但只有少数艺术家的铁杆粉丝熟悉这位艺术家对神秘的痴迷。关于他的超自然能力，最突出的例子之一就是他受委托为詹姆斯·邦德电影《生死关头》设计的塔罗牌。然而，卡片从未出现在照片中。

In the 1970s, when preparing for props, the producer of Live and Let Die, Albert Broccoli, decided to ask Salvador Dalí to work on the creation of a custom deck of Tarot cards.

20世纪70年代，《生死关头》的制作人艾伯特·布罗科利在准备道具时，决定请萨尔瓦多·达利制作一副定制塔罗牌。

Dalí eagerly accepted the offer, possibly incited by his wife Gala who got him interested in mysticism.

达利热切地接受了这个提议，可能是受到了他妻子加拉的鼓励，加拉让他对神秘主义产生了兴趣。

However, the deal fell through when Dalí requested a fee so big that it was too high even for the film’s $7million budget.

然而，由于达利要求的片酬太高，即便是700万美元的预算，这笔交易也泡汤了。

Despite that, the maestro continued working on the Tarot deck and nearly a decade later, in 1984, it was finished.

尽管如此，这位大师仍然继续在塔罗牌上工作，大约十年后，在1984年，塔罗牌完成了。

The limited-edition of the deck was put up for sale and quickly sold. The cards were not on the market up until now, when nearly 30 years later, Taschen Books decided to resurrect Dalí’s Tarot cards.

限量版的桥牌被拿出来出售，很快就被卖掉了。直到近30年后的今天，塔臣图书公司才决定重新使用达利的塔罗牌。

The deck perfectly combines Dalí’s knowledge of the arcane and his signature motifs: dissected faces, ants, roses, and butterflies. It features Dalí himself as the Magician, while his wife poses as the Empress.

甲板完美地结合了达利的神秘的知识和他的签名图案:解剖的面孔，蚂蚁，玫瑰和蝴蝶。影片中，达利饰演魔术师，而他的妻子则扮演皇后。

The new edition features an explanatory booklet authored by tarot expert Johannes Fiebig. It includes an introduction about Dalí and a guide explaining the meaning of each card and how to perform a reading.

新版的特色是一本由塔罗牌专家约翰内斯·菲比格撰写的解释手册。它包括一个介绍大理和导游解释每卡的意义和如何执行阅读。
