Why It Matters

The declarative, almost slogan-like title fits Faile's blend of pop iconography and pulp messaging. As a hand-finished edition of 20 on Lenox 100, each sheet carries its own painterly variation, distinguishing it from uniform silkscreen runs and reinforcing the duo's labor-intensive studio ethos.

Collector Perspective

Twenty hand-finished sheets makes this scarce, and the individual acrylic work means condition and the specific character of a copy both matter. Confirm the signature, stamp, and numbering, and inspect the layered passages on the 25 x 38 sheet for any adhesion or handling concerns.

Historical Context

Reach For The Truth sits within Faile's 2009 run of acrylic-and-silkscreen hand-finished editions on Lenox 100 paper. The 25 x 38 format and edition of 20 align with the duo's method of producing deliberately individualized, small-run works during this prolific stretch.
