Abstract
"This work looks at various types of information found on the verso or perspective of a work of art and how they add contemporary understanding and interpretation of the work, itself. Such information may include an artist's perception of the verso from behind their work, the stretcher, a trompe l'oeil, B-Sides, Hidden Sides, inscriptions, stamps and seals, folds, cuts, and cutouts, an artist's view from behind in front of their work, ornaments and ghosts, and natural materials as the background. "

Notes
- Catalog from an exhibition held at Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid, Spain, November 7, 2023-March 3, 2024.
- "This exhibition goes beyond the simple action of turning paintings around. Rather, the Museo del Prado is undertaking a complete reassessment of the backs of works in its collections while also identifying relevant examples in other major museums which reveal how appreciation of works of art is enhanced when we do more than just look at the front."--https://www.museodelprado.es/en/whats-on/exhibition/on-the-reverse. (viewed December 1, 2023).
