Why It Matters
As an early 2003 work in a large run, "Bunny" documents Faile's transitional period between street practice and editioned prints. The split edition — a signed subset and a larger unsigned body — is a notable structure, and the unsigned examples represent the most accessible tier of an important early Faile motif.
Collector Perspective
Note the source figures differ (an edition of 650 versus 750, with 1–100 signed), so confirm the exact edition structure and whether a given example is signed before purchase. As an unsigned impression, value rests on condition and the strength of the image; verify the 71 x 51 cm format and look for clean, unfaded sheets.
Historical Context
Dated 2003, this is among Faile's earlier editioned screen prints, produced as the Brooklyn collective was expanding from wheatpaste street work into gallery multiples. The Bunny motif recurs throughout their later output, and this large early run reflects the accessible, higher-volume editions the studio issued in its formative gallery years.
