Work Summary & Collector Notes
Baboom is a 2017 collaborative giclée printed on 300 g Moab paper at 111.76 x 84.58 cm, in a tight edition of 20. Its onomatopoeic comic-book title signals a work built explicitly around the sound-effect vocabulary of Golden Age superhero panels, and it is signed and numbered by the collaborating artists.

Why It Matters
As a collaborative edition of only 20, Baboom is among the scarcer large-format Chevrier prints. The title leans directly into comic onomatopoeia — the "BABOOM" of an explosion — making the superhero-deconstruction theme unusually explicit rather than embedded in the portrait as in her cage works.
Collector Perspective
An edition of 20 at over 110 cm wide places this firmly in the scarce, wall-scale tier. The collaborative nature means multiple signatures, which collectors should verify together. The large Moab sheet demands careful framing and flat storage; condition on such a big giclée is a primary value driver.
Historical Context
Chevrier's collaborations expanded her practice beyond the solo cage portraits into joint editions that foreground comic-book iconography. Produced in 2017 alongside her square screen prints, Baboom reflects the artist working at large scale with a partner, a format that yielded very limited runs compared to her standard giclée releases.
