Это буквальный перевод с французского tour d'ivoire. Французский литературный критик Сент-Бёв впервые использовал это выражение в 1837 г., описывая поэта Альфреда де Виньи (1797—1863), который работал в башне и считал, что одиночество — это неизбежный удел гения. -

"башня из слоновой кости", оторванность от жизни [этим. фр. une tour d'ivoire; выражение создано французским поэтом и критиком Сент-Бёвом и является переосмыслением библеизма]...Lanny just forgot that some people were poor - it is so easy to forget that when you live in any ivory tower! (U. Sinclair, ‘Between Two Worlds’, ch. 7) —...Ланни совершенно забыл о существовании бедных людей. Так легко забыть об этом, когда живешь в башне из слоновой кости!
Throughout the nineteenth century we find the artist engaging in a vain effort to deny the world which imposes upon him standards he can never accept. Some do so by building their ivory tower and hoisting from its summit the silken banner of art for art's sake. (R. Fox, ‘The Novel and the People’, ch. IV) — Мы видели, как в течение всего XIX века художники тщетно пытались отгородиться от мира, навязывающего им нормы, которые они не могут принять. Некоторые для этого уединялись в "башню из слоновой кости", вывешивая знамя искусства ради искусства.
