For example, Joseph Albers wrote the number of the oil paints that he used to create his series “Homage to the Square” (maybe he did with with other works as well). The University of Michigan Art Museum has an Albers displayed on a stand for visitors to look at the back side of the painting and see his “recipe.” Very messy hand-writing, so it is difficult to decipher. Really neat, though!

If you want to keep provenance info intact, you’d have to ensure that none of the prior stickers are covered. I’d love to know!
