The final reveal! Grace Bonney visits our five artists in Brooklyn one last time to see the final results of their creative adventure at the New York Public Library.

Episode 3 of "Design by the Book" finds the artists back in their studios, experimenting with different projects based on what they found at the New York Public Library.

In this episode, second in the "Design by the Book" series from the New York Public Library, the five artists head to the library to meet with reference librarian Jessica Pigza. Fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi also joins us to share his sources of inspiration.

The New York Public Library holds a wealth of unexpected sources of inspiration for artists and designers: from vintage valentines and textile patterns, to fabric samples and turn-of-the-century menus from around the world. For this online-only miniseries, Design by the Book, NYPL partnered with the leading design blog Design*Sponge to invite five New York City-based artists to sift through its collections in search of inspiration. Watch as the artists, who range from a glassblower to a letterpress printer, create unique works inspired by what they found.

In the fall of 2007, the Indianapolis Museum of Art unveiled "Above and Below", a commissioned installation by Maya Lin on the Fortune Balcony of the Asian art galleries; this work was inspired by the complex structure of underground White River tributaries in south central Indiana.

Emerging on the international scene with her design of the Vietnam War Memorial in 1982, Lin’s work has always hovered at the intersection of art, nature and architecture. Watch as artist Maya Lin discusses her works of art and impressive career.
