Warriors Of The Night
Summary
Warriors Of The Night is a varied-edition print of 24 in acrylic and silkscreen ink on Lenox 100 paper, measuring 25 x 38 inches. Signed, stamped, and numbered in 2009, each sheet is individually hand-finished, placing it among Faile's small hand-worked editions from that year.
Why It Matters
The varied-edition format gives each of the 24 sheets its own painterly identity, so the run reads as a set of related unique works. The evocative, action-driven title fits Faile's pulp and comic-adjacent sensibility, and the hand-finishing sets it apart from standard reproducible silkscreens.
Collector Perspective
At 24 hand-finished sheets the edition is scarce, and copy-by-copy variation makes the specific acrylic treatment a meaningful factor. Verify the 2009 signature, stamp, and numbering, and inspect the layered passages on the 25 x 38 sheet for any lifting in heavily worked areas.
Historical Context
Signed 2009, Warriors Of The Night belongs to Faile's late-decade run of varied editions on Lenox 100. Its acrylic-over-silkscreen construction reflects the hand-built studio method the duo used to produce deliberately individualized editions across this prolific period.

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.
