Silber's serigraphs are individually hand-printed, limited edition prints, using hand-cut, highly detailed, lacquer film stencils to create the final image. Because of the hands-on nature and fine detail of these prints the editions are small in number and considered very desirable by collectors when composed and pulled by an artist of Silber’s caliber. Generally editions are limited to 50 or 60 prints per composition.
The overall impression of these prints is quiet, still, meditative and otherworldly. The highly detailed representational quality of these pieces offer the viewer a place to discover upon close observation what can become an abstract surface, offering a place to lose time at a time where diversion is a welcome and healing option.
Anne Silber: Serigraphs, Still Life and Landscape is presented by VanderbiltMedicalCenter’s Office of Cultural Enrichment from June 1 – September 30, 2010 during hospital lobby hours. For more information,visit or
