Work Summary & Collector Notes
Falling For Faile is a hand-finished print in an edition of 20, measuring 25 x 30 inches. Released in 2009, it belongs to a set of similarly sized 25 x 30 inch hand-worked editions the duo issued that year, each in the same tight run of 20.
Collector notes: The saved release record describes: Edition of 20. Edition-specific signature, numbering, and stamp details were not stated in the saved release record. Verify signing and numbering against a documented example of this edition.
Why It Matters
The self-referential title makes this one of Faile's more knowing images, playing on the duo's own name. As a hand-finished edition of 20, it carries individual variation across sheets and sits within a cohesive 2009 grouping of same-format prints that collectors often view together.
Collector Perspective
An edition of 20 is scarce, and the hand-finishing means each sheet differs, so the specific character of a given copy matters. Collectors should confirm signing and numbering and assess condition on the 25 x 30 sheet, particularly around any heavily worked passages.
Historical Context
In 2009 Faile released several hand-finished prints at 25 x 30 inches in editions of 20, and Falling For Faile is part of that consistent grouping. The format and run size reflect the duo's approach to producing small, individualized editions during this active studio period.
