Why It Matters
This is the definitive reference volume on the Cages series, and the deluxe format elevates it from book to collectible object through its bundled print and tactile die-cut cover. For collectors, it functions as both scholarship and artifact, anchoring a Chevrier collection with primary-source context in the artist's own words.
Collector Perspective
Condition of the linen cover and die-cut eyes matters greatly, as does keeping the giclee print pristine and paired with the book. At 15 by 12 inches, the deluxe package is substantial. Verify the edition of 200 and that both components are present and unmarked to preserve full value.
Historical Context
Spanning work since 2012, the monograph documents the arc of Chevrier's Cages project during the years it defined her international profile. Its bilingual essays reflect her Montreal roots, and the studio and sketchbook material offer rare insight into her layered, painterly process behind the finished portraits.
