Artist Documentation Program

http://adp.menil.org/
This link is a fantastic resource for hearing first-hand accounts of the artist's intentions and use of materials.  After creating a log-in, you can watch interviews conducted "to gain a better understanding of their materials, working techniques, and intent for conservation of their works. All interviews are conducted by conservators in a museum or studio setting".
I haven't watched them all, but so far my favorite interviews are with artists:
Tim Hawkinson 
John Currin
Jasper Johns
Dario Robleto
