Everything Under The Sky (The Saved)
Summary
"Everything Under The Sky (The Saved)" is a varied edition of 250 from FAILE's 2012 series, printed in acrylic and silkscreen ink on Lenox 100 paper at 12.5 x 19 inches. Signed, stamped, and numbered, its "Saved" imagery leans on FAILE's recurring religious and salvation iconography in intimate format.
Why It Matters
The Saved sits within FAILE's rich vein of devotional and iconographic imagery, a defining thread of their visual language. As a varied 250-edition with hand-applied acrylic, each impression carries individual color character, while the accessible size and full signing make it an approachable but genuine FAILE hand-finished work.
Collector Perspective
Collectors drawn to FAILE's religious motifs value The Saved as a compact expression of that theme. The acrylic-and-silkscreen hand treatment ensures variation across the 250 impressions, and numbering plus the full studio mark support authentication. Palette and the crispness of the hand-worked passages guide comparisons among available examples.
Historical Context
FAILE has long borrowed the visual grammar of religious ephemera, prayer cards, saints, and salvation slogans, remixing it with pulp and advertising imagery. This 2012 varied edition continues that practice, folding sacred iconography into the duo's ongoing collage of American vernacular and street-poster tradition.

Collecting Faile at Gauntlet Gallery
Which FAILE works are best to collect?
FAILE's signed, numbered silkscreen editions and their hand-finished wood and mixed-media pieces are the core of the market. Screenprints from their studio releases offer an accessible entry, while unique wooden "blocks" and painted works sit at the higher end. Gauntlet Gallery focuses on complete, well-preserved impressions with strong color registration.
How is a FAILE piece authenticated?
We sell FAILE works with documented studio provenance, backed by the edition's signature and numbering. Every piece is photographed as-is, including the signature, edition number, and any studio markings, so you can confirm details before purchase.
What makes one FAILE piece worth more?
Edition size, medium (unique wood pieces over open prints), iconic imagery, condition, and provenance from a known release all drive value. Hand-embellished and one-of-a-kind works consistently outperform standard editioned prints.
