Why It Matters
The 21-color build in FAILE's block style showcases the duo's layered, quilt-like compositional approach, one of their most identifiable formats. At 125 impressions and nearly 39 inches, it balances scarcity with presence. Tied to the Bedtime Stories body of work, it links a collectible print to a named FAILE exhibition theme.
Collector Perspective
Collectors value the block-style composition and the technically rich 21-color process, which give the print depth and wall impact. The edition of 125 is moderately scarce, and the large format suits statement display. Buyers examine color registration, border condition, and overall flatness when comparing available examples of this 2011 release.
Historical Context
FAILE's Bedtime Stories show marked a period when the duo leaned into their block-style compositions, arranging fragmented icons into unified patchwork fields. This 2011 print exemplifies that method, translating the assembled, storybook-like imagery of the exhibition into a large, densely colored edition.
