Antonio Pineda (1919-2009)In the mountain town of Taxco in Mexico’s state of Guerrero, large-scale mining can be dated to thesixteenth century, and silver is a way of life. In the years following the Mexican Revolution (1910–20), jewelry and other silver objects were crafted there with an entirely innovative approach, informedby modernism and the creation of a new Mexican national identity. Today, at the age of 89, AntonioPineda is one of two living members of the Taxco School and is recognized as a world-class designerand a Mexican national treasure. Nearly two hundred examples of Pineda’s acclaimed silver work willbe displayed in Silver Seduction: The Art of Mexican Modernist Antonio Pineda, a travelingexhibition debuting at the Fowler Museum Aug. 24, 2008.Significantly, given Pineda’s many accomplishments and international renown, he identifies himselfprimarily as a taxqueño, or Taxco, silversmith. From its inception, the Taxco movement broke newground in technical achievement and design. While American-born, Taxco-based designer WilliamSpratling has been credited with spearheading the contemporary Taxco silver movement, it was agroup of talented Mexican designers who went on to establish independent workshops and develop thedistinctive “Taxco School.”See
