Faile Ecstasy
Work Summary & Collector Notes
Faile Ecstasy is a 2010 limited edition print in a run of 175, measuring 24 x 36 inches. Faile developed it from an original work they had fallen for the prior fall, choosing to produce a larger hand-printed edition so a wider audience could own the image.
Collector notes: The saved release record describes: Limited Edition Print of 175. The saved release record describes: signed; numbered. Verify each feature against a documented example of this edition.
Why It Matters
The print's origin as an enlargement of an original the artists personally favored gives it a direct link to their studio affections. At 175 it is one of the more accessible sheets from this window, making it a common entry point for collectors beginning to build a Faile holding.
Collector Perspective
The larger edition size means Faile Ecstasy is more readily found than the duo's tiny hand-finished runs, which keeps it approachable. For collectors, condition and clean margins on the 24 x 36 sheet matter most, since a bigger edition rewards buyers who hold out for the best-preserved examples.
Historical Context
Released in 2010, the print reflects Faile's practice of revisiting favored originals and scaling them into editions. It sits within a prolific stretch for the Brooklyn duo, complementing the smaller experimental runs of the same year with a broader, more widely distributed image.
