"In 2012, Oregon-based sculptor Chris Antemann was invited to participate in artCAMPUS®, the art studio program of Germany’s renowned MEISSEN® Porcelain Manufactory. The program enabled Antemann to collaborate with Meissen’s master artisans on unique pieces and a series of limited-edition sculptures, resulting in a grand installation that reinvents and invigorates the great porcelain figurative tradition."

"Using the Garden of Eden as her metaphor, Antemann created a contemporary celebration of the 18th-century banqueting craze. Inspired by Meissen’s great historical model of Johann Joachim Kändler’s monumental Love Temple (1750), the artist sculpted her own 5-foot version."
