Photographer Pedro E. Guerrero began his photographic career in 1939 when acclaimed architect Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) retained him to document his buildings and his Taliesin Fellowship of apprentice architects. Over a span of 20 years, Guerrero recorded Wright and his work becoming the master architect’s chief visual interpreter.

Beginning in 1963, Guerrero spent 13 years chronicling the life and work of renowned sculptor Alexander Calder (1894-1974), creator of the mobile. And, starting in 1979 he spent five years capturing the art and life of Louise Nevelson (1899-1988) in her home and studios.

Guerrero worked for all the major architecture and home magazines in the 1940s-1970s. His work has been exhibited at major museums and galleries in the U.S. and in Europe and has been featured in books, magazines and documentary films. 

Guerrero has authored three books of his work:

  Pedro E. Guerrero: A Photographer's Journey (2007, Princeton Architectural Press), 

  Picturing Wright, An Album from Frank Lloyd Wright's Photographer (1994, Pomegranate Books, San Francisco), and

  Calder at Home (2000, Stewart, Tabori and Chang, New York).
