Editorial Review for Athena Statue – by Shelton Clark
In Short
Standing nearly 42 feet (13m) tall, ths full-scale replica of Greece's Athena Parthenos sculpture was created by local artist Alan LeQuire from 1982 to 1990. He then worked with master gilder Lou Reed to finish the project in 2002. It remains the largest piece of indoor sculpture in the western world and forms the centerpiece of Nashville's Parthenon museum. In Athena's right hand stands Nike, the goddess of victory.
