Why It Matters
An edition of 50 at a large 83-by-58 cm scale gives this print both presence and meaningful scarcity. The 'charcoal black' tonality distinguishes it visually from brighter compositions, appealing to collectors drawn to the more somber, dramatic end of Chevrier's chromatic range.
Collector Perspective
The edition of 50 sits in Chevrier's mid-scarcity band. Confirm signature, numbering out of 50, and the Moab 300 gram stock. At roughly 84 by 58 cm the work makes a strong wall statement, and its dark palette suits collectors seeking tonal variety across a Cages holding.
Historical Context
Dated 2018, this print reflects Chevrier's exploration of mood through color within the Cages series, where palette shifts the emotional register of otherwise related compositions. The charcoal-black theme aligns with the darker undercurrents she layers beneath the vivid superhero imagery masking her subjects.
