Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

"Piece" by artist Robert Rauschenberg. Large square artwork with a thick tan border around the outside. Inside the border is a smaller square with a blue damask pattern featuring floral designs. The top of the inner square is folded down to create a triangular section of tan colored material. The triangular section is symmetrically shaped with the point in the center at the top. The damask pattern has a gold-colored design on a blue background. The artwork has a textured fabric-like appearance. There is small orange text in the bottom-right corner.
