Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a fabric square titled "Piece" by artist Anni Albers. The fabric is gold with a square pattern. The top section features a gold pattern on a brown background depicting what appears to be people and foliage. The main section is divided into 12 squares arranged in a 3x4 grid. The squares alternate between solid gold and stripes that run vertically. Four of the squares have a black background. The entire image is surrounded by a gold border. The date "Jan 14 1939" is handwritten in red ink at the bottom right.
