In preparation for "Metal of Honor: Gold from Simone Martini to Contemporary Art," on view from October 13, 2022, to January 16, 2023, the Gardner Museum staff spent time with Artist-in-Residence Stacy Lynn Waddell. Together they took a closer look at Simone Martini’s painting in the Museum’s collection and Stacy described how his innovative use of gold inspires her. Please note: Gardner Museum conservators advised the film participants on safe handling of the artworks.

Metal of Honor, the film with sound, was produced by the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in 2022 and runs about 4 minutes.
