Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Gray and gold-colored artwork on a beige background, titled "Piece" by artist On Kawara. Rectangular artwork with a thin beige border around the edges. The artwork itself has a dark gray background with a pattern of lighter gray and gold lines and shapes. The pattern appears to be a mix of abstract and organic forms, with some areas featuring horizontal lines and others featuring more free-flowing curves. Small areas of gold color are scattered throughout, giving the piece a sense of texture and depth. A small red number printed vertically along the right edge.
