Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two bowls, "Bowl" by artist, in a black and white photo on a light grey background. Left bowl is silver, shaped like a flower; numerous curved petals radiate in a semi-circle from the center of the bowl. The right bowl is white with a ribbed exterior; both bowls have a similar wavy edge. The right bowl sits on a small circular base. Both bowls are made of their respective materials with a metal mesh pattern around the top. The metal mesh design on both bowls consists of interconnected loops. The bowls are side-by-side. The background is plain and light-colored. The image is in black and white.
