La Cage Immunisée à Ses Charmes
Work Summary & Collector Notes
La Cage immunisée à ses charmes (2015) is a giclée on 300 gsm smooth cotton archival rag at a paper size of 23 x 28 inches. It was released as an edition of 50, with the first 10 impressions offered as hand-embellished versions — a two-tier structure typical of Chevrier's giclée releases.
Collector notes: The saved release record describes: Edition of 50. Edition-specific signature, numbering, and stamp details were not stated in the saved release record. Verify signing and numbering against a documented example of this edition.
Why It Matters
The archival cotton rag substrate distinguishes this sheet from her Moab-paper releases, signaling premium fine-art handling. The title — "immune to its charms" — adds a note of resistance to the cage narrative, and the hand-embellished sub-edition of 10 offers a more exclusive tier of the same image.
Collector Perspective
The standard run of 50 is the accessible tier; the first 10 hand-embellished impressions carry the artist's added handwork at a premium. Buyers should confirm which tier applies. The smooth cotton rag is condition-sensitive to surface marks, so handling and framing care are important value factors.
Historical Context
This 2015 release follows Chevrier's established model of pairing a standard giclée edition with a small hand-embellished run. Its printing on cotton archival rag rather than Moab reflects the range of premium substrates she used across her mid-2010s giclée output.
