Pineda opened his own store in 1933 and became known for his modernist silversmith pieces that incorporated rare stones in unique contexts. In 1941 at the age of 22, Antonio Pineda opened his own workshop in his hometown of Taxco after working and studying with other notable artists and silver workshops, including William Spratling. His reputation was launched in 1944 when he participated in an international exposition in San Francisco at the Palace of the Legion of Honor, where his collection of some eighty pieces were bought entirely by Gump’s. This relationship continued for many years with Gump’s supplying the stones and Pineda designing and producing the jewelry. At his height in 1956, Pineda had established his operation of over one hundred and sixty craftspeople, creating jewelry and sculpture in two different workshops. Building influence from Pre-Conquest motifs to his more successful modernist aesthetic, his pieces are still sought after by collectors. His work became popular with American ex-pats and vacationers in the area, and he eventually signed an exclusive deal with the retailer Richard Gump. Pineda's work remained in high demand throughout his life, and he passed away in 2009.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eCountry\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003e: Taxco, Mexico.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003ePeriod\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003e: Modernist, 1950-53.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eDesigner\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003e: Antonio Pineda, 1919-2009.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003e: 17.6 Grams, (11.30 Dwt). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003e: 26 mm by 16 mm by 12 mm (1.02 x 0.63 x 0.47 Inches).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eHallmarks\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003e: Stamped with Mexican old marks; the 1953 maker's mark, the mark for the assay and warranty of the\u003cb\u003e .970\/.999\u003c\/b\u003e silver, the logo, the five-digits serial numbers and signed as follow: \"\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eANTONIO TAXCO SILVER .970 HECHO EN MEXICO XX511\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\".\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eLiterature\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003e: Catalogue from 2008 exhibition by Gobi Stromberg \u0026amp; Ana Elena Mallet. \u003ci\u003eSilver Seduction The Art of Mexican Modernist Antonio Pineda\u003c\/i\u003e Fowler Museum UCLA.
