Love Transmitter
Summary
Love Transmitter is a FAILE screen print in an edition of 200, printed in acrylic and silkscreen ink on archival Lenox 100 paper at 12 x 27.5 inches. Signed, stamped, and embossed, its unusually elongated panoramic proportion sets it apart from FAILE's more standard formats within their Pop-romance output.
Why It Matters
The wide 12 x 27.5 inch panoramic format is the distinguishing feature, giving Love Transmitter a horizontal sweep uncommon in FAILE's catalog and well suited to specific interior spaces. As a hand-pulled screen print of 200 on Lenox 100, it offers authenticated FAILE craft at an accessible tier with a distinctive shape.
Collector Perspective
The elongated proportion appeals to collectors seeking a format that fills horizontal wall space, such as above furniture. Acrylic and silkscreen on Lenox 100 archival paper supports quality and durability. Signed, stamped, and embossed authentication secures provenance across the 200-piece edition.
Historical Context
FAILE occasionally departs from standard rectangular formats to suit a composition, and Love Transmitter's panoramic shape reflects that flexibility. The romance-charged title continues the duo's Pop vocabulary of love and connection, themes they have mined from vintage comic and pulp sources throughout their editioned work.

About the Artist
FAILE is a Brooklyn-based artistic collaboration founded in 1999 by Patrick McNeil and Patrick Miller. Known for a distinctive collage aesthetic that blends comic-book imagery, pulp advertising, religious iconography, and street-poster typography, FAILE built its reputation through wheat-pasted works and stencils in cities worldwide. The duo is celebrated for reviving printmaking and woodblock techniques, and for immersive installations such as their prayer-wheel and temple environments. Their work has been exhibited internationally, including projects with the New York City Ballet, bridging street practice and fine-art institutions.
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.
