La Cage Et L`Intranquilite (XL)
Work Summary & Collector Notes
La Cage et l'Intranquilité (XL) is a 2017 extra-large giclée measuring 86 x 112 cm in an edition of just 5. The tiny run and oversized format make it one of the rarest sheets in Chevrier's editioned catalogue, a statement-scale rendering of her signature cage portrait.
Collector notes: XL; saved release record states an edition size of 5. Edition-specific signature, numbering, and stamp details were not stated in the saved release record. Verify signing and numbering against a documented example of this edition.
Why It Matters
An edition of 5 is exceptionally small even by Chevrier's standards, elevating this XL sheet into the rarest tier of her prints. The title — evoking "disquiet" or "unrest" — reinforces the psychological charge of the cage motif, here delivered at near-metre scale for maximum presence.
Collector Perspective
With only five impressions, availability is extremely constrained; each sale is a notable event within the catalogue. The XL format is a defining feature and a framing consideration. Signature and edition number are the authentication anchors, and provenance chains tend to be short given how few exist.
Historical Context
Chevrier periodically released oversized XL versions of cage compositions in micro-editions, and this 2017 sheet is a prime example. These runs of five or ten were made for collectors wanting the impact of her large paintings in editioned form, and they remain the scarcest category of her print output.
