Faile or Fail?, by peebee on Jun 28, 2021 8:29:25 GMT 1, ![]() First time posting here, hope the photo link works OK! I bought this a good few years ago from an English gallery, can't remember which one. Does it look OK and might it be desirable to a collector? Would appreciate any info about the pic, thanks!

I actually prefer the older pieces than their new work.

Unless you're fishing, I might be paranoid but something feels a bit off?

Faile or Fail?, by peebee on Jun 28, 2021 18:18:20 GMT 1, Many thanks for the info, definitely no fishing! Just curious about something that's been on my wall for years and wondering if it's the genuine article! I know that I bought it but can't remember exactly where, when and how much I paid for it. I appreciate that the photo was not the best and short on detail, but I have removed the back of the frame and it does have a signature and edition number. I'll email the studio as suggested and hopefully find out a bit more about it. Again, many thanks for the feedback!

Faile or Fail?, by Zippy on Jun 28, 2021 19:37:24 GMT 1, Looks great. Signature and number look real.
If you email Faile / the Studio they will be helpful and confirm.
Whilst open, you might want to get that tape across the top removed.
It will leave a mark across the top but these are on such thick stock, hopefully it wont damage the print.
Let a pro do it before you think i can just rip it off!!
Depending on where you are, someone will know a framer not too far from you who will reframe without taping the print.
Enjoy your lovely faile!

Faile or Fail?, by peebee on Jun 28, 2021 19:48:54 GMT 1, Thank you! I'm a bit annoyed about the tape on the print, but when I had it framed, years ago, I wasn't thinking that something like that might affect the future value. The same framer mounted a Banksy print I owned, again with a big bit of tape across the top! I will certainly look for someone with a more sympathetic approach to try a spot of conservation and get it framed up properly.

I do love old Faile. As to value then I'm afraid to say it's only worth a few quid, send it to me and I'll give you a fiver and even cover the postage, but only as I feel bad for doubting you

I'm more than happy to be wrong - this looks good to me and well done for a great purchase back then. I do love old Faile.
