The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows three rectangular bricks standing upright. The brick on the left is white. The brick in the middle has a dirty right half and a white left half. The brick on the right has a dirty left half and a white right half. The bricks appear to have a rough texture. The bricks are arranged side-by-side on a flat surface. The surface they are on and the wall behind them are light-colored. A ruler is placed in front of the leftmost brick, and a small label is placed to the right of the rightmost brick. The label reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART". The work is titled "Brick" by an unknown artist.
