Why It Matters
The title's plea to the gods gives this cage composition an overtly mythic charge, delivered here at wall scale in an edition of only 10. As a hand-finished XL, it is the elevated presentation of the image, offering the drama of Chevrier's large-format work in a tightly limited print.
Collector Perspective
With just 10 impressions at over 120 cm, this is a scarce statement piece. The stamp, signature and numbering form a strong authentication set. Given the sheet's size, buyers should prioritize flat storage and museum-grade framing, as condition heavily influences the value of large giclées.
Historical Context
Part of Chevrier's 2014 practice of releasing key cage compositions as micro-edition XL sheets, this print parallels its appearance in the triptych. The runs of ten made her most dramatic images available at scale to a small circle of collectors during her formative editioned period.
