Why It Matters
The disclosed 20 artist proofs alongside the edition of 100 give collectors clarity on total production, and the spray-paint-plus-acrylic finishing ensures genuine hand-work. On thick Lenox 100 stock, Walk On The Wild Side is a well-constructed 2023 screen print combining FAILE's printmaking depth with individualized surface treatment.
Collector Perspective
Transparency about the 100 main edition plus 20 AP helps collectors gauge true scarcity. The thick Lenox 100 archival paper is a quality signal, and hand-applied spray paint and acrylic add variation. Signed and numbered authentication secures provenance. Metric sizing (63.5 x 46 cm) points to an international or European release context.
Historical Context
Artist proofs are a standard convention in fine printmaking, typically reserved for the artists outside the main edition. FAILE's 2023 Walk On The Wild Side follows that practice while layering spray paint over screen printing, continuing the duo's blend of gallery-print rigor and street-derived hand-finishing techniques.
