Pedro E. Guerrero: A Photographer's Journey with Frank Lloyd Wright, Alexander Calder, and Louise Nevelson
by Pedro E. Guerrero
from Princeton Architectural Press
Pedro Guerrero spent his entire career, more than 60 years, photographing houses of some of the most illustrious American architects and artists of the twentieth century. Emerging from a modest background, his first professional job at the age of twenty-two 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 Wright's homes. 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.
Spanning nearly a century, Pedro E. Guerrero: A Photographer's Journey is a fascinating memoir illustrated with over 190 of the author's own photographs. Guerrero steps out from behind the camera and, for the first time, tells his own story along with the stories of the contradictory and complex lives of the extraordinary people he has known, including candid anecdotes about the personal quirks of some of America's legendary magazine editors, architects, and artists.

Louise Nevelson: A Passionate Life
by Laurie Lisle
from Backinprint.com
The only biography of this important American sculptor, Louise Nevelson is the story of an artist who became a legend in her time. Born in a Russian village, she grew up in Maine and married a wealthy New Yorker. As her dedication to art grew, she abandoned her husband and neglected her son. She found inspiration in old wood, creating a rich iconography of blackened images. After achieving success at the age of sixty, she adopted an exotic persona while continuing to add to the magnificent body of work that is today found in public parks and major museums throughout the world.
