She Killed A Man (Hand-Finished)
Work Summary & Collector Notes
A 2013 hand-finished work: an archival giclee on Hahnemuhle 308gsm at 61 x 46 cm, in an edition of 29 where each impression is unique. Hand signed and stamped. The direct English title "She Killed A Man" departs from Chevrier's usual French phrasing, and the hand-finishing means no two examples are alike.
Collector notes: The saved release record describes: Handfinsihed edition of 29 prints. The saved release record describes: signed. Verify each feature against a documented example of this edition.
Why It Matters
The hand-finished treatment is the key distinction: each of the 29 prints receives unique artist intervention, so every impression is effectively one-of-a-kind rather than a straight reproduction. That blurs the line between print and original and sits at the high end of collectibility. The blunt English title also stands apart from her poetic French naming convention.
Collector Perspective
Hand-finished editions carry premium appeal because uniqueness is baked in; a collector isn't buying one of 29 identical sheets but a singular object. The small run of 29 reinforces scarcity. Hahnemuhle 308 is a top-tier archival stock. Because each is unique, image-specific condition and the character of the hand-finishing should be evaluated individually rather than assumed.
Historical Context
2013 was a productive year for Chevrier's "Cage Study" and related releases. Hand-finished editions from this period demonstrate her willingness to reintroduce the artist's hand into the print medium, reinforcing the painterly identity of her work even in editioned form.
