Why It Matters

The PJ holographic number sticker adds a documented anti-counterfeiting and provenance element that not all FAILE prints carry, giving D.B. FAILE an extra layer of verifiable authentication. The 7-color front and 1-color back construction makes it a fully two-sided edition rather than a single-face print.

Collector Perspective

Offered at $225 in an edition of 300, D.B. FAILE is an accessible screen print whose holographic sticker provides an added confidence marker for buyers. Collectors should confirm the signature, embossing, numbering, and matching holographic number, and appreciate the single-color verso as part of the complete object.

Historical Context

Holographic authentication stickers became a favored tool for print studios and collaborators seeking to combat forgery in the growing street-art print market. Its presence on D.B. FAILE reflects the studio's 2018-era attention to verifiable provenance across its editioned releases.
