Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The title is "Piece" by artist Faith Ringgold. The image shows a long, narrow piece of fabric with a pattern of black text on a cream-colored background. The fabric appears to be woven or embroidered with small, densely packed words or letters that are difficult to read. The fabric has a rough, textured edge along its length. A small, thin object resembling a needle or a pin is stuck into the fabric near the right edge. The background behind the fabric is plain white.
