Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of rectangular artwork titled "Piece" by artist not specified. The artwork is a pattern of wavy lines that are densely packed and cover the entire surface. The lines are curved and rounded, resembling a series of connected waves or ripples. The waves are small and uniform, with each one overlapping the next to create a textured, layered effect. The lines are darker in some areas and lighter in others, giving the impression of depth and shading. The background of the artwork is not visible, as the wavy lines cover the entire surface. The image has a thin white border around it and a small line of text in the top-left corner and numbers in the bottom-right corner. The artwork has a black border.
