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.

"Let it unveil itself to you as what it is as opposed to categorizing it."

Ali Banisadr reflects on Hieronymus Bosch’s "The Adoration of the Magi" in this episode of The Artist Project—an online series in which artists respond to works of art in The Met collection.
