This book was written and published through the San Antonio Museum Of Art in companionship with the magnificent Spratling Exhibit that toured America in 2004. The exhibit was curated by Penny Morrill and this volume was organized and edited by Morrill, who is the outstanding expert in the world on Spratling's career and work, and the Taxco/Mexican Silver Renaissance of the 1930s- 1960s era. Exquisitely photographed, authoritatively researched, and written with a thoroughness and elegance unmatched by any other book of its genre. And soooo entertaining. Its simply the best.
