Brick

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Three rectangular bricks standing upright. The left brick is light-colored, with a small label on top reading "1101". The middle brick has a similar color scheme but with visible wear on the right side, and a small sticker on top with the number "1102". The right brick has a darker, rough texture on the right and a smoother surface on the left, with the top portion painted white. A ruler is placed in front of the bricks on the left side. The background is a plain wall, and a label in the bottom-right corner reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART". Brick by artist not specified.
