Anne Silber Art for Sale at Auction

Born in New Jersey, Anne Silber studied at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, and has lived and worked in the Boston area since 1977. Silber's work has been shown in numerous one-person and group exhibitions around the U.S. and Europe, and her prints are included in many corporate and museum collections. Her work has also appeared on the sets of a large number of television series and major motion pictures.

These artworks are serigraphs, or silkscreen prints, hand-printed by the artist using hand-cut lacquer film stencils. The inks are mixed with a large amount of transparent base, allowing for the visual "blending" of overlaid tones, creating an effect like that of well-controlled watercolors. The editions are very limited in number, with an average of about 50 or 60 impressions.



Artist’s Statement

Anne Silber / Artist Statement
Born in New Jersey, Anne Silber studied at Cornell University in Ithaca,
New York, and has lived and worked in the Boston area since 1977.
Silber’s work has been shown in numerous one-person and group
exhibitions around the U.S. and Europe, and her prints are included in
many corporate and museum collections.
These works are limited edition serigraphs, or silkscreen prints, handprinted
by the artist using hand-cut lacquer film stencils. The inks are
mixed with a large percentage of transparent base, allowing for the visual
“blending” of overlaid tones, creating an effect like that of well-controlled
watercolors.
Silber’s work emphasizes the graphic qualities: form, line and especially
color relationships. She enjoys working with colors in an almost musical
sense, creating harmonies and occasional dissonance with the combination
of tones. Many of her works also explore the possibilities of light and
shadow, with shadows becoming as much an interesting and integral part
of the composition as the objects casting them.
