Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The title of the piece is "Piece" by the artist Anni Albers. The image shows a small section of fabric with a camouflage pattern. The fabric is primarily composed of dark colors, including black, dark green, and brown. The pattern features irregular shapes in various shades of green, brown, and gray, woven together to create a mottled effect. The fabric appears to be made of woven threads, with some loose threads visible along the edges. The background of the image is white, providing a stark contrast to the dark colors of the fabric. A line of text at the bottom reads "102 20.148.1020".
