Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The piece, by Robert Rauschenberg, is a black and white photograph of a rectangular object. The object is covered with a shiny, wrinkled material resembling plastic or foil. The material appears smooth in the center and wrinkled around the edges. The object is secured to a frame at the top with two metal pieces. The frame is light-colored and rectangular. The background behind the frame is white. The object occupies most of the image, with a small portion of a similar object visible on the left side. There is a white border around the image. The image contains a small text at the bottom.
