Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Narrow rectangular piece of fabric with frayed edges on both long sides. The fabric features a woven design with a dark blue background and a pattern of lighter blue, gold, and white. The pattern appears to be a floral or organic motif with curved shapes and lines. A small section of the fabric has a more distinct eye-like shape with a white center and dark center. The fabric is set against a plain white background. The piece is by artist Anni Albers.
