Thin bands of silver metallic paint punctuate the light edges of several fleche forms in Constellation: Xerxes, negating the glowing effect that appears in many of Sillman’s late works. Sillman occasionally used silver, as in the scratchboard and screenprint in the first gallery, in a manner akin to Renaissance artists who adorned altarpieces with precious gold leaf.
