Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Dark blue rectangular piece of fabric with frayed edges, featuring white geometric designs. The fabric appears to be woven with a pattern of white squares and rectangles arranged in rows. The fabric is mostly dark blue with some lighter blue or white threads visible. There are several white geometric designs scattered across the fabric. The top and bottom edges are frayed, while the left edge appears to have a few loose threads. A seam runs vertically along the right side. "Piece" by Anni Albers.
