Nineteen Fragments

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Framed piece titled Nineteen Fragments by the artist. The frame is rectangular and made of a light-colored wood or metal, with a thin border around the edges. The background of the frame is covered in blue paper. There are 19 fragments of paper or fabric, varying in size and shape, arranged in four rows. The fragments are made of different materials, including what appears to be aged paper and fabric. Some fragments have visible text or images, while others are blank. The colors of the fragments range from brown, beige, and yellow to green and black. Some fragments have rough, frayed edges, while others appear to be more smooth. The fragments are arranged in a seemingly random pattern, with some overlapping or touching each other. The glass covering the frame reflects light, creating a glare in the center of the image. The frame is set against a plain white background.
