From March 2015 to June 2016, we invited 120 artists—local, national, and global—to choose individual works of art or galleries that sparked their imaginations. In The Artist Project, artists reflect on what art is, what inspires them from across 5,000 years of art, and in so doing, they reveal the power of a museum and The Met.

"Maybe a story is not fully articulated, but it's presenting a point of view."

Alejandro Cesarco reflects on Gallery 907 in this episode of The Artist Project—an online series in which artists respond to works of art in The Met collection.
