William Spratling revolutionized silver jewelry design in Mexico. Arriving in Taxco in 1929, by 1940 he had over 100 silversmiths producing his enormously popular silver creations. Important figures of the North American literary and art establishment, among them John dos Passos, William Faulkner, and Georgia O'Keeffe, purchased his designs and sang his praises. Out of Spratling's workshop emerged many of Mexico's finest silver designers, including Hctor Aguilar, Antonio Castillo and his brothers Jorge and Justo, Salvador Tern, and Antonio Pineda. Today their striking jewelry and hollowware in silveroften set with precious stones and preColumbian artifactsare prized collectibles.This book tells the story of the legendary designer and of seven decades of the silversmith's art in Mexico. With its elegant photographs and an invaluable appendix of hallmarks, this volumewhich accompanies a traveling exhibition that will draw new attention to Spratling's silver designswill appeal to collectors, dealers, scholars, and everyone who enjoys beautiful jewelry.
