Why It Matters
The elongated vertical format is unusual in Chevrier's catalogue and lends the composition a scroll-like presence. The 14-colour-plus-varnish process and the named master printer signal a carefully produced fine-art silkscreen, with the varnish adding surface depth uncommon in editioned prints.
Collector Perspective
At 150 impressions, this is a moderately limited screen print whose distinctive tall proportions make it a talking point. The master-printer attribution to Robert Bellemare Jr. adds production provenance. Collectors should preserve the varnish surface and plan framing around the narrow, elongated sheet.
Historical Context
Working with master printer Robert Bellemare Jr., Chevrier produced this 2015 silkscreen on Stonehenge paper during a period when she was refining her screen-print craft. The panoramic vertical format reflects experimentation with composition beyond the standard portrait proportions of the cage series.
