Faile πΊπΈ New Print Release β’ Show News β’ Art For Sale, by Richard Seabrooke on Nov 17, 2010 23:40:15 GMT 1, yeah, huge fan of faile's and even though i had stilettos right up to paypal just couldn't pull the trigger... much prefer their other work and other pieces in the show... i see the blocks like the lazarides coins, nice to have if you're a collector but not an investment piece... mind you, they probably said that about warhol's brillo boxes...

Faile πΊπΈ New Print Release β’ Show News β’ Art For Sale, by lvc on Nov 18, 2010 2:24:21 GMT 1, Its actually disgusting to think how much money these guys make...Its literally printing money to them.
$240,000 revenue in one print release which most likely cost them $2000 in materials a the very most
Furthermore $800 for a faile?? That is totally unreasonable they are hardly mainstream. POW used to sell failes for Β£75.
I'm sorry but Banksy is the MAN for not selling out like these guys.
Those faile boys are laughing eating lobster and drinking Champagne in the Plaza hotel NY

I don't think your gauge of the Faile market is correct. Also do the numbers on Banksy's Trolley release and get back to me.

Faile πΊπΈ New Print Release β’ Show News β’ Art For Sale, by lvc on Nov 18, 2010 3:25:42 GMT 1, Well people are buying it up so yes you are right to say they are popular but ultimately fail is charging banksy prices for something they are not. 6 maybe 7 out of ten people in the uk would probably be aware of banksy thats just a guess.. but my point is that less than 1 out of ten people would know who faile was. Even shep fairey is better known and hes charging $50 a print!
Its art for all the wrong reasons, banksy is the man and he can do what he likes in this market as far as I am concerned, he hasn't released one print this year! even I queued over night for the last one! he has droped laz and slowly dropping pow.
I'm sorry In my opinion which I am entitled too...faile is not worth all the hype as good as the art may be. They take full advantage of the fact that some middle aged people have to much money and feel young and hip by buying "alternative art".

It's not like MBW riding some big hype train. They are charging fair market value for there prints to deter flipping. Shepard releases 450 prints a week so even at 50.00 thats over 40k a month on avg. His market is built on flipping IMO. Listen I could give a s**t about Faile but the reality is they have a nice international market the people who can afford the pieces do so and so what. I like Banksy a lot as well but he has cashed in at times and I don't blame him. Lets agree to disagree

Probably more like 1 in 100 people know what Faile is. And probably 1 in 1000 people know who Wade Guyton is yet his stuff sells for more than both Faile and Banksy.

I think many an artist has benefited from that.

I don't like all the art on this forum, but it doesn't bother me if others do. What about it bothers you so much? Not trying to be a jerk, just curious. You seem quite emphatic.

Not sure if these would have been more difficult than the three that were released. The prints are 18 colors, so that would make these three feasible, I would imagine? Maybe not Bedtime Stories.

Faile give the people what they want plain and simple, they are clearly very clever and understand the market and are hugely successful. Why be angry with them for that.
