Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The artwork titled "Piece" by the artist Robert Rauschenberg shows a rectangular arrangement of 12 squares in a grid pattern. The squares alternate between dark blue-gray and shades of brown and tan colors. Each square features a different tan design on it. The designs appear to be a mix of floral and abstract shapes. A white rectangular sticker with black text reading "96 14 1281" is visible at the top left. The background behind the grid appears to be a light-colored wood surface.
