Who were the Tietze-Hodoshes? I
n the late 1920s William Spratling’s friend Diego Rivera gifted him a Pre-Columbian standing figure. That gift led Spratling to acquire an impressive collection of PreColumbian art. Cindy Tietze-Hodosh and Stuart Hodosh, like Spratling, began their collection from one little piece, eventually amassing one of the most significant holds of Mexican silver in private hands. Cindy and Stuart never saw themselves as collectors but rather temporary custodians of the works they acquired. As personal friends of designer Antonio Pineda, they spent summer vacations at his ranch in Taxco. The Hodoshes brought together rare, one of a kind works, along with more archetypal pieces, always with an eye for the beautiful and unusual. A collection of this breadth and scope, built with dedication and care over several decades presents a call to action for novice and seasoned collectors alike. A collection of this caliber and magnitude rarely comes to market, and it's waiting for the next custodians to take up the mantle of the Hodoshes.

Taxco, Mexico, 1925. The Mexican Revolution, which had upended and
deposed the old regime, is five years in the past, creating in its wake an air of nationalistic pride. The new government, under the leadership Plutarco Elías Calles was still in its infancy, remaking Mexico by reshaping the society with an emphasis on reform to uplift the working class. Artists who had moved abroad, including Diego Rivera, Rufino Tamayo, and José Clemente Orozco, were returning home to answer the call of the Secretary of Public Education, José Vasconcelos. His vision for post-revolutionary Mexico included a strong emphasis on the blend of Indigenous and European cultures through largescale murals and public art. Cultural exchanges between the United States and Mexico resulted in a flow of ideas and artists moving back and forth across the border. Artists and intellectuals were turning their gaze to the Pre-Columbian past to reinvent a new, uniquely Mexican identity and visual language, filtering it through the cubist, modernist, and expressionist movements sweeping across Europe and the Western world after World War I. It was in this environment, ripe with hope and expression, that an architecture professor from New Orleans first laid eyes on the town that would change his life and define his legacy. Accessible by a winding dirt road largely impassable by car, William Spratling made the bumpy journey from Mexico City into the Taxco Mountains sometime in 1925 or 1926. Snug on the slopes of Atace Hill lies the Spanish Colonial-era town of Taxco. Anchored by the Santa Prisca church and dotted with 18thcentury buildings, the town must have seemed like a place out of another time and, in some ways, it was. In 1532, the Spanish Conquistadors discovered silver in the hills above Taxco, with two of Hernan Cortès' sons heading mining production. José de la Borda would modernize the operations in the 18th century leading the industry to a boom that would continue well into the 19th century. By the 1920s, however, the mining industry was in decline, and silver production was carried out only by small independent operations in the surrounding towns. Historically, silver production did little to enrich the town; Instead, the spoils were exported, taking the profits with it. It’s not entirely clear why Spratling chose to settle permanently in Taxco, but by the late 1920s, he had purchased a small home with a large garden near the Plaza del Borda. Up until this time, Spratling earned money writing articles or arranging commissions for his artist friends in Mexico City, but a steady income eluded him. A friend of Spratling’s, Ambassador Dwight Morrow, suggested he look into what had historically been a significant industry in Taxco—silver. This germ of an idea proved impossible for Spratling to shake, and by the early 1930s, he founded the first of the silver shops that would spur a Mexican silver renaissance.
vi
His apprentices and craftsman, many of whom grew up during the years after the revolution, were most likely students at the schools set up by the government. These schools adorned by Mexican muralists, like Spratling’s friend Diego Rivera, had among their art curriculums the Best Maugard method. Based on the idea that seven shapes (the spiral, the half-circle, the circle, the "S," curved lines, straight lines, and zig-zag lines) were the basis for visual expression and innate in the subconscious of humans, this influential method was taught at these new schools established throughout Mexico. This simplified visual language, culled from the method's creator while documenting Pre-Columbian artifacts, fashioned a simple road map into artistic expression and design. Many of these elements can be seen in the forms and decorations created by the new generation of silversmiths who trained in the Spratling shop. A Zorrita, literally translated as “little fox,” referred to the young apprentices in the early Spratling workshops. Before machines were brought to the shops, the zorritas would hand-hammer all the sheets of silver used in production and polish the creations with pumice using their arm as a polishing wheel. Many familiar silversmiths started with William Spratling this way including Antonio Castillo and Antonio Pineda. When they decided to form their own shops in 1939, Spratling gave them his blessing with the promise they would not copy his designs. The result is an aesthetic unique to each company, instantly recognizable in their own right. If William Spratling was the starting runner in the marathon of the Mexican silver Renaissance, it was his apprentices who would take it to the finish line. William Spratling died prematurely in 1967, and one can only imagine that he would be gobsmacked to know his early vision in the 1930s would take root and grow one of the most important and robust artistic movements of the 20th century. Its legacy continuing to the present day. The collaborative spirit fostered in the Spratling workshops inevitably gave rise to hordes of talented silversmiths with unique talents and visions. Many of Spratling’s former apprentices formed tallers (workshops) large and small, revolutionary and traditional. They created a way of life that brought prosperity and artistic satisfaction to the once depressed mountain town. The Mexican silver renaissance was, in many ways, a natural output of a unique time in Mexico's history, one that nurtured artistic expression and emphasized ideas and a new identity.

"The true color of silver is white, the same color as extreme heat and extreme cold. It is also the same color as the first food received by an infant and is the color of light. Its very malleability is an invitation to work it. It lends itself to the forming of objects in planes and in three dimensions of great desirability, objects to be done by hand in precious metal." —William Spratling

William Spratling T
he post-revolutionary approach blending Indigenous and European artistic language with an idealized view of folk life and art is imbued in the Spratling aesthetic. Friend Diego Rivera gave Spratling a Pre-Columbian carved standing figure that would lead him to acquire an impressive collection of Pre-Columbian art and artifacts, many of which can be found today at the William Spratling Museum in Taxco. Another defining moment which informed Spratling’s aesthetic was the 1925 discovery of Tomb 7, in Monte Alban, which unearthed one of the most precious finds of Pre-Columbian gold jewelry and turquoise inlay work from the Mixtec culture. The goldsmiths of Pre-Columbian Mexico, the Mixtec culture were renowned for their sophisticated and unique aesthetic. Many of Spratling’s early work was lifted, sometimes directly, from PreColumbian pieces and designs in his collection. By the early 1930s, Spratling, who trained as an architect and was a talented visual artist, had the vision for what he wanted to achieve but lacked the skills to execute it. In the town of Iguala, he found a talented silversmith who would be the first of his crucial hires, Artemio Navarrete. Until the 1940s, the work was mainly done by hand without the aid of machinery. At its height in the early 1940s, Spratling’s silver shop employed hundreds of workers who created designs and contributed to the success of the taller. Though a series of circumstances led to the dissolution of the first Spratling taller in the 1940s, by the end of the decade Spratling returned to silversmithing in the role he loved the most, design. Throughout the 1950s, Spratling’s new workshop would set the trends in silver with its silver inlay work and simplified lines always rooted in the Pre-Columbian aesthetic. When Spratling died in 1967, he left Taxco with a unique art form that reaches beyond the borders of the mountain town, his mantle taken up by a new generation of artists and artisans who would push the form to its limits.

Antonio Pineda An artistic dialog was taking place in the Taxco silver community in the early 1950s. Antonio Pineda took to heart Spratling’s request not to copy his designs but initially struggled to find his point of view not just as a craftsman but as an artist. Inspiration would come in abstraction, with the repeating and mirroring of simplified lines to create a cohesive shape and structure. Pineda would later note in a video interview for the landmark exhibition of his work Silver Seduction "[if] there is no challenge, there is no inspiration." His artistic expression married with careful craftsmanship resulted in some of the most beautiful jewelry of the Mexican silver golden age, crafted for comfort and ease of wear.
Pineda would, for the rest of his career, push the limits of what was possible to achieve in silver, creating a breadth of innovative designs that are among the most important and serenely gorgeous of the movement. The minimalist links of gem-set jewelry suites with their repeating lines and transcendent patterns are as comfortable to wear as they are beautiful to look at. A pair of squared columnar candlesticks, a rare form, is a study in the play of shape and line and are imbued with Pineda's artistic philosophy. The Hodoshes became personal friends of Pineda, and that affinity is seen in their collection, standing as a testament to their friendship as much as a selection of his greatest achievements.

Los Castillo T
he brothers who formed Los Castillo took a different path than fellow Spratling apprentice Antonio Pineda. Finding inspiration from the ancient Mixtec use of turquoise inlay, Los Castillo would become renowned in their early years for their traditional forms adorned with stone-inlaid fauna native to Mexico. The iconic pitcher with a stylized parrot peeking into the opening is a classic example. Los Castillo’s metales line offers a unique overlap of metals, making for playful use of color and tone. Later, the new generations working at the shop would push the aesthetic of the company toward more natural forms inspired by organic materials.

Conditions of Sale AUCTION HOUSE AS AGENT Except as otherwise stated, John Moran Auctioneers Moran's) acts as agent for the seller. The contract for the sale of the property is therefore made between the seller and the buyer. BEFORE THE AUCTION (a) Public Preview: All property is available for inspection by public preview during the day of auction. In many cases, particular lots can be examined in advance by private appointment. Prospective buyers are strongly encouraged to personally examine any property in which they are interested. (b) Buyer's Responsibility: Buyers are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the true nature and condition of any lot prior to bidding. Though buyers are not legally required to inspect lots prior to purchase, failure to do so may constitute a waiver of complaint that an item was not delivered in a condition equal to the existent condition at the auction. (c) Property Sold 'As Is': Neither Moran's nor the seller provides any guarantee in relation to the nature of the property, or to any errors or omissions in the catalogue or supplemental material apart from the Limited Warranty stated below. Condition reports are offered as a courtesy and are typically published in Moran's catalogue or can be made available upon request. The absence of a condition report does not imply than an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of others. AT THE AUCTION (a) Admission: The auction is open to the public, though Moran's reserves the right to refuse admission or participation to anyone at any time. The auctioneer may be recorded (visually, aurally or otherwise) and all participants consent to such recording. (b) Buyer Registration: Prospective buyers must register with Moran's before bidding. Moran's may require identification and financial references in advance of buyer eligibility. Registered bidders accept personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer's premium plus all applicable charges, unless Moran's agrees in advance that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Moran's. In such case, Moran's will look to the third party for payment. (c) Bidding Guidelines: Bidding, whether in person, by agent, absentee bid, telephone, or internet, constitutes a bidder's acceptance of these conditions. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the buyer. The auctioneer retains the absolute right to reject any bid, to withdraw, pass or divide any lots, to combine multiple lots, to advance the bidding at his or her absolute discretion and (in the case of error or dispute, whether during or after the sale) to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, cancel the sale or to re-offer and sell the lot in question. Under no circumstances are the consignors' or agents acting on their behalf, permitted to bid on their consignment. In the event of any dispute after the auction Moran's sale record shall be conclusive. (d) Absentee, Telephone and Internet Bidding: Moran's offers absentee, telephone and internet bidding as a convenience to clients and does not accept liability for errors or failures to execute such bids. Absentee and telephone bids must be recognized by Moran's prior to auction day. When identical absentee bids are submitted that become the highest bids at the auction, the bid first received by Moran's shall be accepted as the winning bid. Telephone bidders are encouraged to leave minimum bids in case of technical failure. (e) Reserves: Unless indicated otherwise, lots may be offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the lot will not be sold. The reserve for any lot shall not exceed its published estimate. Moran's shall act to protect the reserve by bidding through the auctioneer, who may open bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on the seller's behalf. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the reserve amount, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. Lots without reserves are typically opened for bidding at 50% of their low estimate. In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backwards at his discretion or deem the lot unsold if a bid is not recognized. AFTER THE AUCTION (a) Payment and Title Transfer: The buyer agrees to pay the sum of the hammer price plus Buyer's Premium, plus any applicable sales tax. Buyer's Premium is calculated as follows: 25% on the first $500,000 of the hammer price, plus 18% on any amount between $500,001 - $1,000,000, and 15% on any amount above $1,000,000 when paying by cash, check or wire transfer. Successful bidders using Live Auctioneers platform will be charged a Buyer’s Premium of: 30% on the first $500,000 of the hammer price, plus 23% on any amount between $500,001 - $1,000,000, and 20% on any amount above $1,000,000 when paying by cash, check or wire transfer. Credit card payments will be subject to an additional 3.5% acceptance fee. This fee is not more than the cost of accepting these cards. Buyers outside the United States must submit payment via wire transfer. Credit cards are not an accepted form of payment for buyers outside the United States. Buyers are strongly encouraged to provide full payment at the auction. Payment must be received by Moran's within five business days immediately following the auction. The buyer shall not acquire title or take possession of the lot until all amounts (including the hammer price, premium and applicable taxes) due to Moran's have been paid in full. (b) Collection: Buyers are strongly encouraged to collect purchased items from the sale site at the time of the auction. Packing material and labor are provided free of charge at the sale site during the auction. Packing and handling of purchased lot is undertaken by Moran's solely as a convenience to customers. Moran's is not liable for damage to property, regardless of cause, in connection with this courtesy service (c) Storage: Following the auction, uncollected lots shall be relocated to and stored in Moran's warehouse. Moran's shall retain possession of all purchases until full payment has been received from the buyer. Lots remaining uncollected after the fifth business day following the sale, regardless of payment status, are subject to a per-lot daily storage charge of $10.00. In addition to other remedies available by law, Moran's reserves the right to impose upon delinquent buyers a separate 1% monthly charge (of the
274
purchase price, or the maximum permitted by law) commencing on the sixth business day after the sale date. (d) Shipping: Buyers are responsible for arranging their own shipping estimates and deliveries. Moran's in our discretion and as a courtesy to buyers, can arrange to have purchased lots packed, insured and forwarded by a third-party shipper at the request, expense and risk of the buyer. Moran's assumes no responsibility for acts or omissions in such packing or shipping by other packers or carriers, even if recommended by Moran's. Nor does Moran's assume any responsibility for any damage to picture frames or to the glass therein. In circumstances where Moran's arranges for such third-party services, Moran's may apply an administration charge of 15% of that service fee. (e) All Sales Final: Notwithstanding other terms mentioned herein, refunds shall be given at Moran's sole discretion. Refunds requested on the grounds of authenticity must be made within 10 days of the auction and accompanied by a supporting written statement from a recognized authority (defined as a person who has authored, edited, or substantially contributed to a monograph on the artist, a person who has curated, organized or substantially contributed to a solo exhibition on the artist, a person who has represented the artist's estate or someone who represented or worked closely with the artist while they were alive and, in any of the above instances physically handled works of the period, medium and subject matter in question during the course of their duties) stating that the object sold is incorrect or not the work of the artist. Dealers, appraisers and representatives of other auction firms do not qualify as authenticators of individual artists unless they have had such specific involvement with that artist's work, as specified above, in addition to their daily duties. Refunded lots must be returned to Moran's in the same condition as when sold. Moran's does not grant extensions to refund considerations based upon authenticity due to shipping delays. There are no exceptions to this refund policy. LIABILITY AND LIMITED WARRANTY (a) Liability: The buyer expressly agrees that (i) neither Moran's nor the seller shall be liable, in whole or in part, for any special, indirect or consequential damages, including, without limitation, loss of profits and (ii) the buyer's damages, if any, are limited exclusively to the original purchase price paid for the lot. (b) Limited Warranty: All property is sold as is. Neither Moran's nor the consignor or our associates make any representation, express or implied warranty (including merchantability and fitness) or guarantee in condition, age, size, provenance, medium, signature, inscription, exhibition history, importance, rarity, country of origin, genuineness, historical relevance, monetary or other value, framing or lack thereof, mounting, conservation, coloring, palette, inscription, edition, style, label or other descriptor. No statement in the catalogue, brochures, website, bill of sale or invoice, any supplementary material, or statements by any Moran's employee shall be deemed such a warranty or representation or an assumption of liability. (c) Descriptions: No warranty, whether express or implied, is made with respect to any description contained in this auction or any second opinion. Any description of the items or second opinion is for the courtesy of identifying the items for those Bidders who do not have the opportunity to view the lots in person, and no description of items has been made part of the basis of the transaction or has created any express warranty that the goods would conform to any description made by the Auctioneer. Color variations can be expected in any electronic or printed imaging and are not grounds for the return of any lot. (d) Estimates: All estimates provided are carefully considered opinions of Moran's specialists, and are merely suggested guidelines for interested buyers. Buyers must be aware that all property sold is subject to fluctuating values depending on the subjective interests of collectors and a wide variety of other uncontrollable factors. The lots auctioned may sell at prices above, within, or below estimate. (e) Regulated Species: Lots with a "◊" symbol in the printed or digital catalog, or noted within the condition report of a lot, may contain regulated plant or animal materials and could be subject to certain import or export restrictions. It is the buyer’s responsibility to investigate any such restrictions and obtain any required import or export permits / licenses. The inability to obtain any such document(s) is not grounds for requesting a refund nor does it negate the buyer from making full payment for their purchase. (f) Notices, Demands and Refunds: Any demands for refunds, problems with the lot(s) sold or notices of any kind concerning the auction shall be in writing and addressed to John Moran Auctioneers, Inc, 145 East Walnut Avenue, Monrovia, CA 91016. ADDITIONAL MATTERS (a) Copyright: The copyright on all images, illustrations and written material produced by or for Moran's for this auction is and shall remain at all times the property of Moran's. Moran's and the seller make no representation or warranty that the buyer will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to a purchased lot. (b) Buyer's Breach of Conditions: If a buyer fails to comply with any of these conditions, Moran's may, in addition to asserting all remedies available by law, including the right to hold that buyer liable for the purchase price, (i) cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages any payment made by the buyer, (ii) resell the property without reserve at public auction or privately upon notice to the buyer, or (iii) take such other action as we deem necessary or appropriate. If Moran's resells the property, the original defaulting buyer shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency between the original sale price and any subsequent mitigation sale, including warehousing, the expenses of both sales, reasonable attorney's fees, commissions, incidental damages and all other charges due hereunder. In the event that such buyer pays a portion of the purchase price for any property, Moran's shall apply the payment received to such property that Moran's in our sole discretion, deems appropriate. Moran's shall have the benefit of all rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code adopted in the State of California. (c) Severability: Should any of these conditions be deemed unenforceable, invalid or illegal in any court having jurisdiction, that part shall be discounted and shall have no effect on the enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein, which shall remain valid to the fullest extent permitted by law. (d) Jurisdiction: The rights and obligations of the parties with respect to these conditions and the conduct of the auction shall be governed and interpreted by the laws of the State of California. By bidding, whether in person or by agent, by absentee bid, telephone, internet or other means, the buyer shall be deemed to have consented to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the state of California or, if applicable, the federal courts sitting in this state. Further, the buyer agrees that the venue for any action arising out of the failure to abide by these conditions, or any conduct related to or arising out of the auction, shall be the Los Angeles Superior Court, North East Branch located at 600 Olive Street, Burbank, California.
