Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

"Piece" by artist Anni Albers, square blue fabric with gold floral patterns, mounted on tan background, red numbers in upper right corner. The fabric has a repeating pattern of gold four-leaf clover-like shapes with rounded edges. The gold shapes have a textured appearance, and some have blue centers. The blue fabric fills the entire square space, with no visible borders or edges. The tan background is visible around the edges of the blue fabric. The red numbers are in the upper right corner of the tan background. The numbers appear to be handwritten.
