Known by collectors simply as DLM, all issues of "Derriere le Miroir" are now scarce, and have become quite valuable.

Alexander Calder, also known as Sandy, was a major innovator in the medium of sculpture, best known for introducing movement in Calder's Circus and hanging mobiles. Born into a family with a long line of sculptors, he was the fourth generation to pursue this artform. His interest in applied kinetics and mechanical engineering which he studied at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey informed much of his art. However, in addition to kinetic abstract sculptures, Calder also created static sculptures called "stabiles" and this original lithograph depicts a study for one of Calder's stabiles.
