20th C. Spratling Silver Cuff w/ Olmec Stone Maskette: **First Time At Auction**. . (Silver cuff) William Spratling (American, 1900-1967), Mexico, 20th century. (Maskette) Pre-Columbian, Southern Mexico to Guatemala, Olmec, ca. 1100 to 500 BCE. A stunning 95. 3% silver cuff bracelet made by Spratling and inlaid with a mesmerizing maskette carved from a beautiful stone of rich emerald and seafoam green hues, created by the Olmec, the oldest major civilization in Mexico. The greenstone maskette is expertly worked with graceful, subtle contours and signature Olmec traits including a jowly face, a downturned jaguar mouth, and slanted eyes. His tab-shaped ears are adorned with coral earspools that are further embellished with silver granules, and silver granules also decorate the corners of the mouth. An incredible example that blends Pre-Columbian artistry with Spratling's signature style. Size: 2. 375" L x 2. 75" W (6 cm x 7 cm); (opening gap): 1. 75" W (4. 4 cm); (maskette): 2. 125" L x 1. 75" W (5. 4 cm x 4. 4 cm); total weight: 206. 1 grams. . William Spratling made his initial visit to Mexico in 1926, and returned each summer for the next several years. Finally, in 1929, Spratling actually moved to Mexico to be an expatriate, becoming an active member of the vibrant artistic circles of Mexico. Spratling promoted the art of none other than Diego Rivera to New York galleries which led to Rivera's participation in the first exhibition of Mexican visual culture held in the United States, funded by the Carnegie Institute, that opened at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Not only did Spratling assist in curating the exhibition, but he also lent a number of his own pieces. During this same time period, Spratling was working on drawings for the expanding Morrow (US Ambassador to Mexico Dwight Morrow and his wife, the poet Elizabeth Cutter Morrow) home in Cuernavaca. Many of these drawings were included in the book written by Elizabeth Morrow entitled, "Casa Manana" (Knopf, 1930). It was Ambassador Morrow who suggested that Spratling explore developing the silver industry in Taxco. . Trying to find a way to support himself as an expatriate artist, Spratling took notice of the Taxco's silver-mining history and opened a workshop called the Taller de las Delicias, which translates to "Factory of Delights". Years later, he would write: "Nineteen-thirty-one was a notable year in modern Mexican silversmithing. A young silversmith from Iguala named Artemio Navarrete went to Taxco to work for a small silver shop, founded with the germ of an idea, where Artemio, as a nucleus, began to form silversmiths. The present writer, encouraged by his friends Moises Saenz, Dwight Morrow and Diego Rivera, had set up that little shop called 'Las Delicias. '". . Penny Chittim Morrill, Ph. D. , who co-authored :Mexican Silver: 20th Century Hand-wrought Jewelry & Silver" with art dealer Carole Berk is the primary authority on Spratling's work. Morrill was the guest curator for the 2002 traveling exhibition entitled, "William Spratling and the Mexican Silver Renaissance: Maestros de Plata, " organized by the San Diego Museum of Art. In her catalogue essay, Morrill stated, "In establishing silver as an artistic medium, what Spratling achieved was a delicate balance, a synthesis of abstract tendencies in the existent folk art tradition and in contemporary fine art, resulting in a visualization of concepts and ideas. As importantly, the Taller de las Delicias, became the paradigm for other silver designers to follow. Las Delicias was a community in which imagination and innovation were fostered and encouraged as the men learned the art of silversmithing while producing for profit. In the hierarchy of the workshop, these silversmiths advanced according to their ability, enthusiasm, and technical expertise. " . . Provenance: private Glorieta, New Mexico, USA collection. .
