The colours work well on this image... very nice faile. Has is sold yet?

I have to repectfully disagree. It was one of the first Failes I bought back in '06 - And still possibly my favorite piece. And I've owned & carefully studied over 45 Faile pieces. The fact that it IS so messily painted really lends something to the piece that can't be said for the more carefully applied paint of other NYC classics. It's by far the most "painterly" piece I've ever owned by Faile - and imo, pink, orange, cream and coffee are colors that compliment each other brilliantly. After all - it's not the paint in my bedroom, or the color of my car - it's ART. It should be eye catching.

Anyway, each to his/her own, that's what makes Art so great - But I for one believe this to be one of the greatest NYC Faile editioned pieces of all time. I certainly would have grabbed this a long time ago if I hadn't already had one from the source.

Just my opinion, of course, and no offense meant to anyone who feels differently gents!

Good luck with this sale, one thing is for sure, it has stirred up some interesting debate.

Yeah, that was last year!

Good luck.........

This is a nice print so have another bump on me. But you may be better off holding onto this one a bit longer if you're hoping for a good price.

The originals of My Confessions (Jealousy/ Fantasy,) sold for $8k or £5.5k last March from source. These were strong images and were 1/1. I'd be very surprised if you were able to get £5k for print from an edition of 1/11 in the current climate.

Also, I was at the Dreweatts auction in Selfridges earlier this year and bid on a BG 1/1. My limit was £3.5k and I saw it sell for just under £4k.

just to clarify, I was talking about $ US dollars

Cheers mustard. I make that around £3k which is approaching the limit I had for the 1/1.

It's a great print and I love the pink and cream version. Best of luck with the sale.

told y'all dank knew his Faile. I have to say I honestly like this Pink and Cream better than that yellow one from the varied edition of 15 anyway I'm getting pretty close to taking it to the framer.

Honestly mustard if I were you I would hold on to her. You've got a particularly dirty example of an old school image, also after checking out Faile's last show we both know that their not going back in that direction anytime soon. The images now are much cleaner and intricately finished, which is also great but I prefer their older raw style.

I contacted dreweatts about that yellow BFG and they assumed it was an OG simply because it wasn't numbered. I asked the Faile boys about this and they told me all the 38 x 50 BFG's were from an edition. Personally there are maybe 2 or 3 colorway's I like but this work comes across a bit flat to me maybe its cause of their white border...

badrobot, Faile have always adjusted their prices based on what's going on in the secondary market. Although it has only gone up with them, they might lower their pricing slightly but I highly doubt it. Only because you've got to be fair to the buyers from the last release.
About the current images you either like em' or you don't but what's happened for me is that I've come to favor specific new works that I'll try set my efforts towards acquiring. Kind of thankful for this so I am not over spending and buying all the images I like. When it comes down to it though this is just a series of new images and there will be plenty to choose from in years to come.

The new releases certainly were expensive. I think Everything under the sky was the pick of the bunch, a very nice faile print and one that stands up very well to previous faile classics.

My favourite faile images are Butterfly Girl and Happens Everyday and this is one of the best versions of butterfly girl around, although I also really like the Shimmering Red version as well.

thanks ab, I'm getting pretty close to taking it to the framer. every time I look at it i want to keep it. I'll probably offer up a 1/1 'Getting Acquainted With A Faile Girl' Stencil in it's place for sale or swap.
