Why It Matters
A 23-color screenprint is a technically demanding, hand-pulled production, and the desaturated main edition offers a distinctive tonal reading of the composition. On premium Somerset stock in an edition of 195, it balances accessibility with the craftsmanship collectors prize in Chevrier's screenprints over her giclee output.
Collector Perspective
As the main desaturated edition, this is the standard release of the image; note whether variant editions exist when comparing. Verify signature, numbering out of 195, and the 330 gsm Somerset paper. At roughly 88 by 68 cm, the 23-color layering rewards close viewing and archival framing.
Historical Context
Somerset paper and multi-layer screenprinting connect Chevrier to the fine-art print tradition favored by contemporary street and studio artists alike. Released in 2020, this desaturated take on 'the doors of the dream' extends the Cages series into a subtler chromatic register while retaining its comic-collage architecture.
