Description

William Spratling revolutionized silver jewelry design in Mexico. Arriving in Taxco in 1929, by way of 1940 he had over 100 silversmiths producing his enormously common silver creations. Necessary figures of the North American literary and art established order, amongst them John dos Passos, William Faulkner and Georgia O’Keeffe, bought his designs and sang his praises. Out of Spratling’s workshop emerged a lot of Mexico’s finest silver designers, together with Hector Aguilar, Antonio Castillo and his brothers Jorge and Justo, Salvador Teran and Antonio Pineda. Their stiking jewelry and hollow-ware in silver – steadily set with precious stones and pre-Columbian artefacts – are prized collectibles.
