Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

"Piece" by artist James Rosenquist depicts a rectangular artwork with a beige background and a lighter beige rectangle centered on it. The artwork features two columns of black foreign text on either side of the central image, and three horizontal sections of a black and white illustration in the middle. The illustration shows people wearing short-sleeved shirts and short pants, with some wearing hats. They are holding tools like shovels, rakes, and hoes. In the top and bottom sections, there are four people on each side of a fence. The bottom section appears to be slightly damaged.
