Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The artwork, "Piece" by artist Joseph Cornell, shows a square piece of beige fabric with a raised hole or dent in the upper right quadrant. The fabric consists of interwoven light brown and white threads arranged in a dense grid. The beige border around the fabric appears frayed on the right side. A white sticker at the bottom displays the text. The background behind the fabric is off-white. The image is a close-up, likely a detail of a larger work.
