One of a Kind Sterling Necklace Designed by the Mexican Artist Alfredo Zalce
About the Item
Very rare one-of-a-kind jewelry piece designed by the famous Mexican artist Alfredo Zalce ( Mexico 1908-2003), and depicts an abstract fish shape hanging from a very special chain made out of different elements linked together. This talented and prolific artist worked with a wide variety of techniques and materials, such as mural painting, wood carving, sculpturing in various materials, oil, pastel, ink and pencil drawing, engraving, photographic reproduction techniques, mixed media, graphic arts, reliefs in cast aluminum, tapestries, among others. His works full of color and modernity represented the life and culture of Mexico. Scenes of markets, fishermen, quarrymen, workers, women, children, animals, squares, balconies, streets, villages, the countryside, and the jungle were depicted in his works. He teamed up with a fellow countryman and silversmith Ciro Olivos ("Platería Ciro Olivos") to create unique pieces in sterling silver commercialized under Alfredo Zalce´s signature. These pieces are really unique and hard to come by.
