120 of the world's most influential contemporary artists discuss the art that inspires them in this lavishly packaged and designed book."The Artist Project is the latest step among The Met's recent strides to better integrate contemporary art into its historical pantheon." -Art NewsArtists have long been stimulated and motivated by the work of those who came before them - sometimes, centuries before them.

Images of the artworks appear alongside images of the contemporary artists' work, allowing readers to discover a rich web of visual connections that spans cultures and millennia.
