Robert you are correct
Calder's grandfather did the sculptures on Phila City Hall
a few blocks away, Calder's  father's fountain at Logan circle is one of my
all time favorites
a few blocks more at the phila art museum is a calder mobile called "ghost"
so on one street in Philly we have father, son, and ghost

There are plans to open a Calder Museum in Philly

Calder and Miro were friends
Miro, another artist with puppet connections
