Faile Knows for Sale, by gimmefailes on Aug 4, 2009 15:29:01 GMT 1, Cheers for the comments. ;D
For those of you less familiar with Failes work 
Bit of info for you: this features 4 of the most iconic Faile images (Happens Every Day, Faile Mary, Momento Mori and Sexy Ads).
Your chance to own all 4 prints in one!!! 
Just re-looking at the pics and there is a bit of a colour difference (couldnt see it on my dodgy work PC).
The colours in the first pic are the truest representation.
To answer a few questions from the PM's.
The shimmery words in the background can only be seen at an angle that catches the light. As they are black on black!
The layers themselves are all printed on to look torn. This makes the print very thick and heavy. I think each print (of 12) is slightly different in its torn(ness). 
Finally, this cost $3,000 new from the US (not including shipping and insurance to the UK). Its not a ยฃ500 papermonster release print. There is a HUGE amount of hand working on this print.
Looking for offers or trades around cost (approx ยฃ1850 at todays exchange rate)
Hope that helps!

Faile Knows for Sale, by Philippe on Aug 4, 2009 16:03:51 GMT 1, We all love Momento Mori and all but Iconic Faile? I'll give you the other 3 although sexy ads ehhhh.
In regards to the "shimmery words" just think Laz laser etched Failes.
I remember when New Image Art Gallery released this print and liking the torn style. Reminds me of the weathered look from wheat pastes on the streets and I am a fan of the primary colors. Best of luck with the sale.

Faile Knows for Sale, by afroken on Aug 4, 2009 22:42:00 GMT 1, erm, the last one of these sold on eBay for ยฃ900 and once sold since on here for ยฃ1,000. I think ยฃ1,850 is ambitious to say the least.

I dont know how easy these are to track via previous sales. There are only 12. Perhaps that one ended at a strange time or the seller had zero feedback. I dont think it is as predictive as say a Banksy run of 500.
That being said... If someone has a Faile of this size and calibre for ยฃ900-ยฃ1000 please let me know immediately. I will buy it! ;D

Clearly they must be, one naughty, one nice.
I actually never noticed it either. That's another thing I love about Faile's work is how you can notice something new in a piece even after years of looking at it.

Faile Knows for Sale, by Philippe on Aug 6, 2009 3:43:30 GMT 1, I don't know if Hang Up had cheaper prices when you checked that out but based on what they have available now 1k GBP seems awful low. They have smaller simpler pieces with larger edition sizes for more?

Faile Knows for Sale, by jones27 on Aug 6, 2009 17:18:28 GMT 1, Thing is, almost any Faile print will cost under 2k at the moment (with the exception of SOLIB, Happens everyday, Butterfly girl - the really good ones)...And at 1k would be priced
accordingly. Shame as it features so many classic Faile images but the whole Death thing at the top puts me off.....I can see the contrast with Mary overlaying the death but just dont like looking at it.
