Shard (Study Collection)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Shard (Study Collection) by An-My Lê. Dark gray, rough-edged, irregularly shaped fragment with one corner jaggedly broken off. The fragment features a mix of darker and lighter gray tones, with small holes and white specks scattered across its surface. The left side appears smoother with a slight vertical line while the right side is rougher with several small holes. The top is uneven. The background is plain white.
