Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The "Piece" by artist Mark Rothko is a rectangular image with a light brown background. A darker tan border surrounds the image on all sides. The image features a series of geometric shapes in various shades of brown and pink. Three distinct pink geometric patterns are visible. The pattern on the left appears to be a flower or mandala-like design. A smaller circular pattern is in the center. The design on the right is diamond-shaped. The numbers "B6-14-1955" are written in pink at the bottom right.
