Pedro Guerrero spent his entire career, nearly 60 years, photographing the houses of some of the most illustrious of America's architects and artists of the twentieth century. Emerging from a modest background, his first professional job at the age of 22 in 1939 was photographing Taliesin West, the Arizona home of Frank Lloyd Wright.  For the next 20 years, Guerrero was the chief visual interpreter of of Wright's homes, producing the only visual record of Wright's work as it appeared on completion.  Guerrero was soon photographing houses belonging to such legendary artists and architects as Alexander Calder, Louise Nevelson, Marcel Breuer, John Huston, Philip Johnson, Julia Child, Edward Stone and Alexi Brodovitch. 

Pedro Guerrero's photographs have appeared in numerous publications worldwide, including the New York Times Magazine, Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, Architectural Record, Travel and Leisure and House and Garden.  He has contributed to many books and has been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the world.  He lives in Florence, Arizona.
