Les Cages Là Où Les Gens Pleurent (Original Black) is a 2018 polystone sculpture in an edition of 100, measuring 12 by 9 by 7 inches with an engraved signature. Its title, 'where people cry,' translates Chevrier's two-dimensional Cages imagery into a rare three-dimensional object.
Collector notes: Mono Black; saved release record states an edition size of 100. 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
A sculpture is a notable departure for an artist known primarily for prints and paintings, making this a distinctive holding. The polystone form and engraved signature at an edition of 100 give collectors a tactile, dimensional expression of the Cages concept rarely available in Chevrier's output.
Collector Perspective
As a three-dimensional polystone work, condition considerations differ from paper prints: inspect for chips, and confirm the engraved signature and edition of 100. At 12 by 9 by 7 inches it displays on a shelf or plinth rather than a wall, offering variety to a print-focused Chevrier collection.
Historical Context
Translating the Cages series into sculpture, this 2018 Original Black edition extends Chevrier's themes of concealment and emotion into physical space. The medium aligns her with the designer-toy and art-object tradition popular among contemporary artists, while the title, 'where people cry,' keeps the emotional core of her practice intact.
