Why It Matters
The "thousand faces" title is one of the more evocative in the series, directly naming Chevrier's central concern: the many masks and expectations layered onto women. As a signed, numbered giclee in an edition of 80, it represents an accessible entry point into her collectible catalog while retaining the core visual language of painted portrait meeting comic-book fragmentation.
Collector Perspective
Edition 80 sits at the more available end of her releases, which can make it a practical first Chevrier acquisition. The generous 22 x 28 sheet with a 4-inch margin around the image gives framing flexibility. Signed and numbered provides baseline authentication, though buyers may note the absence of a studio stamp mention here versus some sibling editions.
Historical Context
Part of a 2013 cluster of "La Cage" giclees on Moab paper, this work shares format and paper with several companion titles from the same run. The recurring "cage" motif frames the comic-book overlay as both protective armor and confinement, a duality Chevrier returns to throughout the series.
