Why It Matters
The poetic wind-and-sky title and elongated 48 x 24 inch format give this print a sweeping, atmospheric quality distinct from the series' portrait-format sheets. It pairs thematically with Chevrier's other 2015 wind-titled screen print, showing a recurring meteorological motif across her editioned work.
Collector Perspective
At an edition of 100 in a striking vertical format, this giclée is moderately available and visually distinctive. The stamp, signature and numbering provide solid authentication. Its tall proportions on warm Moab natural paper make it a strong wall piece, though the narrow format calls for considered framing.
Historical Context
Produced in 2014 on Moab natural paper, this print reflects Chevrier exploring elongated formats and atmospheric, nature-inflected titles within the cage series. The wind motif recurs across her mid-2010s output, linking this giclée to related screen prints from the following year.
