La Cage Et Tout Ce Que Je Suis
Work Summary & Collector Notes
A 2017 screen print from Sandra Chevrier's ongoing La Cage series, produced as a 24-colour edition on 330 gsm Somerset paper at roughly 76 x 74 cm. The near-square format and dense colour count place it among the more technically ambitious sheets in her editioned output, signed and numbered in an edition of 125.

Why It Matters
The title translates roughly to "The cage and all that I am," foregrounding the identity theme that runs through Chevrier's practice. As a 24-colour screen print rather than a giclée, it demonstrates the artist committing her collaged comic-book imagery to a labour-intensive silkscreen process, a format collectors tend to prize for its hand-pulled depth.
Collector Perspective
At an edition of 125 on heavyweight Somerset stock, this sits in the accessible-but-limited band of Chevrier's screen prints. The 24-colour build is a meaningful talking point when comparing sheets, and the artist's signature and numbering are the core authentication anchors here. Condition on the deckle and corners matters given the large near-square sheet.
Historical Context
By 2017 Chevrier's cage motif — female faces overlaid with fragmented Golden Age comic panels — was well established through gallery print releases in Europe and North America. This edition belongs to that mature phase, when her screen prints grew more colour-saturated and complex than the earlier giclée releases of 2014–2016.
