The verso of White Painting [three panel] reveals its simple construction. The three panels are separate and uniformly sized. Although Rauschenberg numbered each panel, they can be installed in any order. The variability of the order enables adjustments in response to slight irregularities in the panels or the walls on which they are hung.
