Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a woven square of gold fabric labeled as "Piece" by the artist. The fabric is golden brown with a rough, woven texture. The fabric has a square shape with frayed edges. The fabric has a series of intersecting lines and patterns woven into it. The background is a gray surface, possibly a table or countertop. There are numbers printed on the bottom of the image: "838" is handwritten on the lower left side of the fabric and "20.148.838" is on a white label on the lower right side.
