[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 9643569, member: 84"]I found this today at a local thrift store along with a lot of other art & sculptures that all came from 1 home (manager said owner died & family donated everything to make selling it easier). This Calder's backing was loose & I was afraid it would let the glass fall out so I removed it to try to tape it or seal it (bend staples back better) so it was more secure - and I found this on the back? Is it from a gallery? (middle set of writing on back says: galerie de varenne / 61 rue de varenne / paris eme - and the last one says something about a exposition tous le jours sauf le lundi/ and a date?) Is it from the 1960s or 70s or new? Any information would be appreciated! PS - what are the 4 hash marks by the frame next to the signature?
