Fantasie (Timed Edition)
Work Summary & Collector Notes
Fantasie is a 2021 timed-edition print drawn from a painting shown in Faile's Off The Walls exhibition in Paris. Issued at 30 x 24 inches as an archival pigment print on heavyweight archival paper, its edition size was determined by a fixed sales window rather than a preset number, a release model that ties scarcity to demand during the offer period.
Collector notes: The saved release record describes: 48 Hour Timed Limited Edition. The saved release record describes: signed; numbered; embossed / blind-stamped. Verify each feature against a documented example of this edition.
Why It Matters
The timed-edition format is the defining feature, the final run size is set by how many sell within a limited window. Fantasie also carries provenance value as a print of a painting from the Paris Off The Walls show, linking the edition directly to a documented exhibition and the studio's French-inflected title play.
Collector Perspective
Because it is a timed edition, the eventual run size may be unknown until the window closes, which shapes its scarcity profile. Collectors should verify studio marks and note the connection to the Off The Walls exhibition. Its exhibition lineage adds a layer of context beyond a standard numbered print.
Historical Context
Faile's Off The Walls show in Paris translated their layered imagery into gallery paintings, several of which were later editioned. Fantasie, a French-tinged spelling of Fantasy, reflects that context. The timed-edition model reflects a broader print-market trend the studio adopted for this 2021 release.
