Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The artwork "Piece" by the artist is a rectangular image with a yellowed background. The main body of the piece features horizontal stripes in shades of green, brown, and tan. The stripes are uneven and vary in width. The colors are muted and appear to be woven or printed in a textured pattern. A small white rectangle in the top-left corner contains black text that reads "01 8 14 '96". There is a vertical line of red text on the left edge, but it is illegible. The overall appearance suggests an aged or vintage material.
