Why It Matters
The larger 200-run edition made this an accessible entry point into Chevrier's cage imagery for a wider collector base in 2016. The evocative title deepens the series' central tension between physical containment and inner life, a theme Chevrier renders through comic panels masking the female portrait.
Collector Perspective
At an edition of 200, this is one of Chevrier's more available giclées, positioning it as an approachable first acquisition. Signature and numbering are the authentication essentials. Collectors should confirm the sheet is the standard giclée C-print rather than a hand-embellished variant, and inspect the Moab paper for even tone.
Historical Context
2016 was a productive year for Chevrier's editioned giclées, with several cage titles released on Moab stock in varying edition sizes. This 200-count sheet reflects the artist meeting rising demand while keeping the work hand-signed and numbered, a hallmark of her print releases from this period.
