Silk Fragment

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a horizontal strip of fabric, titled "Silk Fragment" by the artist. The fabric strip is long and narrow, wider at one end than the other, with frayed edges; the top edge is more intact than the bottom edge. The top of the strip features horizontal orange, yellow and red stripes. Below the stripes is a band of blue and gold pattern on a brown background. The fabric is mounted on a light beige background. The bottom of the strip is frayed with many threads hanging loose. The overall color palette is muted, with earthy tones dominating the piece.
