Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The artwork, titled "Piece" by artist Jaume Plensa, features a dark blue square with a textured surface resembling fabric or woven material. The square has a gray border around it. The top half of the square contains a gold-colored, arching shape made up of horizontal lines. The arching shape is positioned at the top and extends down to the bottom right corner. The arching shape is composed of numerous thin, gold-colored lines that are arranged horizontally. The lines vary in length, with some being longer than others, creating a sense of depth and texture. The background of the square is a solid dark blue color.
