edit: also don't forget you need to subtract for production cost including paying people working in the studio.

It's funny, I had the exact same thought when I went to check out. A quarter of million selling one print release. This print game has become big business, indeed.
I know full well that isn't total profit; there are large costs to their operation. And I also know full well that Faile has put in their time and has every right to charge what the market demands. I think their work is strong.
It was more just a pause -- a realization if it were -- "damn, that's a lot of coin for selling some prints."

I always used to consider the value of a print in proportion to the value of an original, if an OG was $10k then an edition of a 100 prints should be no more than $100 each....maybe reasonable to expect a bit more on top to cover the costs but in my ideal little bubble it made sense
I don't understand how the price of prints is established these days but $500 for an edition of 500 equates to an edition of a hundred being $2500 !!
Sometimes when I consider the % of an OG I could buy for the price of the print and what comparable percentage it represents( 0.2% of the print pool in this case) then saving up a bit and buying an OG becomes a much more attractive proposition

I have the 150 and am very happy with it.
I'd really love to see something new from Faile but that's just not happening. Why? Also, an edition of 500 is a bit much for me. Other than that, it's a nice image.

They may do short term?
I was gutted I didn't go for the chimp large print and that has increased in value. I like this print but when I did the conversion its AUS$700 plus $500 for decent framing. That's a LOT of nappies for our new arrival!!
Still havent purchased this year which is good, will have to go for the chimp or another older Faile when I am flush with cash in the future, I need a Faile in the collection.

New Faile - Sweet Sins Brooklyn, by Board Stupid on Jun 25, 2015 22:11:05 GMT 1, I wonder how many actually sold - glad I didn't take the plunge on this one. It's not my favourite Faile and the edition is far too high for that price.

New Faile - Sweet Sins Brooklyn, by yoyosh on Jun 26, 2015 0:20:59 GMT 1, It's an edition of 500. FIVE HUNDRED! people have such short term memories: 2014 Sub Rosa World (block print) edition of 450, smaller in size and cost $350 2014 The Right One, Happens Everyday (block print) edition of 450, smaller in size and cost $350 2013 Les Ballets de Faile (block print) same edition of 500, slightly larger in size and same cost $500 2013 Surgere Supra Bestias NYC (block print) same edition of 500, slightly larger in size and same cost $500 Edition of 500 is comparable to the last four block prints they released. You make a good point, and I didn't nab any of those listed above. The 150 series are more up my alley as the size of the piece itself, edition, and price suit me better. Congrats to all who grabbed one of these though!

New Faile - Sweet Sins Brooklyn, by holden on Jun 26, 2015 1:58:35 GMT 1, I only hang art on my walls that I can look at and get some meaning from. What the hell do you all see in this? A woman holding an old rifle, with a purple tree and a werewolf howling in the background - and it says sweet sins. Would love to know what meaning you get from it - apart from saying you love it cause it's Faile. I have just taken my meds so i have a shot. Knowing the boys that are Faile the meaning will be a little cryptic and quite profound. I personally think in some way it is a story of the Choctaw Indians and the upheaval that occurred around the 1830,s in the 'Trail of Tears' when the Choctaw were made to move from Alabama/Louisiana area to Oklahoma. The woman represents the new land owners. I believe at the top left is a Panther and down the bottom is a owl which both feature heavenly in Choctaw folklore. The Panther is a protector as well as a warning of Danger. The owl could be Ishkitini and represents death and at last to tie it all together the purple tree, which looks very much like a Cedar? which could be a reference to a book written by Tim Tingle titled 'House of Purple Cedar' which is a story of the Death of 20 Choctaw girls in the late 1800,s.. How do ya like dem apples.. as usual with a release, the nugget gets lost in the poo
thanks for this, great post

They're all somewhat unique and small enough to be framed for < $200. Would love a les ballets tho. I would come unglued if they released that image in 150 next
