We Belong Together
Summary
We Belong Together is a 2024 FAILE screen print in a small edition of 47, printed in acrylic and silkscreen ink on Lenox 100 archival paper at 18 x 24 inches. Signed, stamped, and embossed, its romantic title and tight edition place it among FAILE's more collectible mid-decade Pop-romance releases.
Why It Matters
At just 47 impressions, We Belong Together is a genuinely limited screen print, and the acrylic-plus-silkscreen construction ensures hand-worked character. Its romance theme situates it in FAILE's signature Pop vein, and it appears designed as a counterpart to the similarly editioned Til We Part, rewarding collectors who acquire the pair.
Collector Perspective
The small edition of 47 drives collectibility, and the acrylic hand-work adds variation across impressions. Lenox 100 archival paper supports longevity. Signed, stamped, and embossed authentication secures provenance. Its apparent pairing with Til We Part, both 18 x 24 inches at edition 47, makes it attractive as part of a diptych acquisition.
Historical Context
FAILE's romance imagery draws on vintage comics and pulp romance covers, recast with ironic tenderness. We Belong Together and Til We Part function as thematic companions within FAILE's 2024 output, reflecting the duo's habit of releasing paired works that play emotional opposites against each other.

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.
