Turf Wars is a 2014 FAILE 150 Series print, a varied edition of 250 combining acrylic and silkscreen ink on Lenox 100 paper at 12.5 x 19 inches. Signed, stamped, and numbered, each impression is individually hand-worked in keeping with the series' varied-edition format.

Why It Matters

Turf Wars exemplifies the 150 Series formula of merging print and painting: acrylic hand-work over silkscreen on Lenox 100 makes each of the 250 impressions unique. The confrontational title fits FAILE's pulp-conflict imagery, a recurring theme across the duo's catalog.

Collector Perspective

As a varied edition, the individual sheet's hand-applied acrylic and colorway determine much of its appeal, so viewing the exact impression is important. The signed, stamped, and numbered authentication and the hybrid print-painting construction anchor its place in FAILE's collectible hand-finished tier.

Historical Context

The 150 Series channels the stained, layered surfaces of FAILE's street-poster roots into an intimate archival edition. Turf Wars' conflict-themed imagery reflects the pulp-comic and urban-tension motifs the duo has drawn on throughout their practice.
