Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The artwork, titled "Piece" by artist Anni Albers, depicts a rectangular piece of fabric with a pattern. The fabric has a beige border around it. The fabric itself is primarily blue and gold in color. The blue areas feature a repeating pattern of trees or floral shapes in gold. The gold pattern on the blue areas appears woven. The fabric also features a patchwork pattern of squares and rectangles in blue and dark brown. The squares and rectangles are arranged in four rows. The squares and rectangles have gold outlines and some internal patterning. A small piece of red text is in the bottom-left corner. The text reads "96.148.54x". The artwork's background is the beige of the border.
