Fragment

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The title is "Fragment" by the artist Miriam Schreiber. A square piece of off-white fabric with frayed edges is mounted on a blue background. The fabric has several abstract shapes and designs. Top left features a cluster of four black circles arranged in a square. The top center displays a peach-colored shape that looks like a puzzle piece. The right side shows a dark blue and white abstract design. The bottom left has several dark blue and white abstract shapes. The bottom right features several peach-colored blotches. The fabric appears to have texture from stitching or weaving. The blue background has a thin brown wooden frame. A small red text in the bottom right corner reads "AR524/1.2003".
