White Portal
<p>In developing <em>White Portal</em>, Frankenthaler was most concerned with how best to highlight the delicacy of the central white tusche banner. She tried printing on vibrant-hued papers, but ultimately decided to print the form on a solid field of beige ink. Over thirty trial proofs were pulled and set aside, to be used later in <em>Silent Curtain</em>, before <em>White Portal</em> was finally published.</p>
