| An elegant and interesting abstract pin made by the Great Master Salvador Teran. Teran’s pieces are among the most difficult to find. He was a unique and creative artist, a cousin of the Castillo brothers. Salvador’s work was clearly influenced by Pre-Columbian motifs and the cubist, surrealist and abstract expressionist art movements of his time. Salvador Teran’s genius is evident in all his unique pieces, unlike any of the other work done in Taxco and Mexico City. He trained with Spratling and worked with his cousins at Los Castillo. He later established his shop in Mexico City in the early 1950s. Unfortunately, Salvador died in 1974 when he was in his mid 50s. Consequently, his independent work was done for a much shorter period of time than his Taxco contemporaries. His silver pieces are among the most difficult to find due to their relative low abundance. In addition, in our opinion, collectors of Salvador’s work are among the most passionate and tenacious. The piece is 3.5 cm (1 3/8“) by 2.2 cm (7/8”) and is 0.5 cm (3/16“) thick. A fine piece of Mexican Vintage Silver. COLLECTOR QUALITY | |||||
