Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Piece by artist Anni Albers is a rectangular textile with a patchwork design. The textile is composed of various squares and rectangles in shades of brown, tan, and black. The squares and rectangles are arranged in a grid-like pattern. The top edge of the textile appears frayed and worn, with some threads loose. A dark brown and black plaid pattern runs vertically along the right side of the textile. Horizontal stripes in black and tan are visible on the left side. The background of the image is light gray.
