The Size Of The Fight
Work Summary & Collector Notes
The Size Of The Fight in its 2017 offset form is an unnumbered edition printed on 215gsm Mohawk Paper at 25 x 34 inches. As a signed offset lithograph rather than a hand-pulled screen print, it presents the same imagery at a larger scale and a more accessible entry point.
Collector notes: Legacy catalog label: First Edition; total quantity was not documented in the saved record. The saved release record describes: signed. Verify each feature against a documented example of this edition.
Why It Matters
Offset editions let a wider audience own a FAILE image while the hand-pulled silkscreen versions remain limited. The signature elevates this above a pure poster, positioning it as an artist-endorsed impression of the Size Of The Fight composition at exhibition scale.
Collector Perspective
Being unnumbered and offset places this in the entry tier for FAILE collectors. The value proposition is the signature and the large 25 x 34 inch format. Collectors should weigh it against the numbered silkscreen variants, which carry hand-pulled texture and defined edition sizes.
Historical Context
FAILE has long paired limited silkscreen releases with broader offset editions, a strategy rooted in the duo's street-art origins of wide distribution. Mohawk stock is a common fine-art offset paper, chosen here to give the accessible edition archival substance.
