Shoe

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black leather shoe, titled "Shoe" by the artist, appears to be old and worn out. Three pieces are shown. The piece on the left is a toe box with a V-shaped cutout at the top center; a horizontal slit across the toe; and a strap at the top center. The piece in the middle has a toe box and a thin strap across the top; the interior is light brown. The right piece appears to be the heel and sole; has two straps; and the bottom shows stitching. The background is white.
