FS: FAILE ORIGINAL *FINAL PRICE DROP*, by mazzie on Mar 7, 2011 19:06:48 GMT 1, This is from the first Faile US solo exhibition at Fifty24 is 2005. Below is a link to Exhibition views from the Faile website.
faile.net/site/gallery.php?i=9
15 x 18" Spray stencil on wood with hand painted acrylic details. 6 colors total. This one is not signed, and cannot spot it in the exhibition photos from the Faile site. However I contacted Faile directly and emailed them an image, and they are going to send me signed verification of provenance and authentication. $4500
Feel free to email with any thoughts or questions.

FS: FAILE ORIGINAL *FINAL PRICE DROP*, by mazzie on Mar 10, 2011 19:39:16 GMT 1, On the same token. This just sold the day before yesterday at auction:
www.phillipsdepury.com/auctions/lot-detail.aspx?sn=NY000111&search=&p=5&order=1&lotnum=54
Ebay is by no means a good platform to base the value of art. Also, the canvas that sold was a pretty sloppy image on a very spindly canvas. I wouldn't say the best example of their early work by any means.

If I only had a dollar for every gem I let slide between my fingers. Be it on ebay, unknown charity / benefit auctions, or shows from the first half-decade of the 2000's in San Francisco. Argh.

In return, maybe you can expand a bit on why you consider the canvas on eBay to be "weak"?
Not trying to heckle your sales thread, just genuinely interested in what you look for in a Faile, and why you rate for instance the fragmented image below higher than the canvas on eBay (which has a coherent composition).

FS: FAILE ORIGINAL *FINAL PRICE DROP*, by mazzie on Mar 15, 2011 22:29:09 GMT 1, First off, I prefer the work on found wood over canvas. The wood feels far more substantial to me, and given the nature of the work, the wood is much more fitting. Regardless of the fact that it's gallery work, the medium is the same as work you would find in the street, therefore I don't see a stencil slapped on a shiny white canvas purchased from an art supply store to have the same effect. I see it as a cheap adaptation of their work for a gallery wall.
Secondly I find the hand painted details, and color scheme to be better executed and much more thought out and desirable on the work you are referencing. I personally don't see the pastel "abstract expressionistic" paint spatters as contributing much to the work, nor does it hold the work together, or even play into any contextual angle. It's merely just there.
Fragmented image or not, I believe it to be more cohesive. In all terms, from medium specificity to contextual relevance, this piece is far better executed than the canvas on ebay. This is my opinion.

FS: FAILE ORIGINAL *FINAL PRICE DROP*, by artylang on Apr 5, 2011 13:03:48 GMT 1, nice shiny paragraph of nonsense sales pitch. You got a weak painting there buddy. I dont think youll get 2kusd for it, let alone 4. The one on ebay was far stronger than yours. It had two overlapping full images. I dont really think it's debatable. Yours is a poor collection starter for someone into faile, and no one who has a large faile collection would even touch this.

FS: FAILE ORIGINAL *FINAL PRICE DROP*, by mazzie on Apr 5, 2011 18:46:00 GMT 1, Sales pitch? Whatever man. "2 overlapping images" doesn't constitute a stronger piece of work. Two hap hazzardly placed overlapping images = ill conceived. Judging by the depth of your comments, no shocker that you would like that one more.
As I said that was my opinion, but thanks for policing the thread and reminding me that aesthetics are NOT subjective. If you are going to partake in art criticism, you should probably give a better informed response next time.
And please, don't talk to me about collecting. These were purchased before you probably even knew about Faile. Small man, big mouth.

Unfortunately for you, they're nothing more than your unwanted, unnecessary, and unintelligent opinions... Fortunately for me, I covered myself by stating that my comments are only my opinion. I did this to avoid looking like a know-it-all, art jock s**thead like yourself.
