HISTORIC PROVENANCE
The Object Artemis Column is inspired by a marble column (ca. 300 B.C.) from the Temple of Artemis at Sardis, a highlight of The Met’s Greek and Roman art collection. The massive section of a fluted Ionic column, which stood at over 58 feet tall in its original location, showcases delicate foliate carvings on the capital—a unique feature among the surviving columns from the temple. The marble reproduction column boasts elegant ridged elements in homage to the column’s detailing and is crafted in marble, which rests on a black plinth.
