Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Rectangular piece of woven fabric, oriented vertically. The fabric has a grid-like texture made of small, evenly spaced knots or dots. The background color of the fabric is a muted brownish-gray. Scattered across the fabric are irregularly shaped patches of a lighter brown color, some of which appear to be made of a slightly shiny material. The patches vary in size and are not uniform in shape or distribution. The fabric is set against a plain white background. The title of the piece is "Piece" by the artist.
