Why It Matters
Released as a ten-variant colour set, "L'union des Forces" turns colour itself into the subject, with each hue producing a distinct mood over the same composition. The black variant offers the most graphic, high-contrast reading. At an edition of 25 per colour, each individual variant is genuinely scarce.
Collector Perspective
Colour-variant series create collecting opportunities around completing a set or securing a preferred hue, and the black variant is often the most sought for its bold, monochromatic drama. With only 25 of this colourway produced, it is a low-edition work; collectors chasing a full ten-variant suite face a considerable challenge given the small runs.
Historical Context
Multi-variant colour editions are a recognized strategy in contemporary print culture, and Chevrier's ten-colour "Union des Forces" applies it to the Cages series. The approach lets a single image function as a family of works, with the title's "union of forces" mirrored by the unified-yet-varied colour system across the set.
