Pigment Hunter

Studio 360

In the 1980s, painter Art Guerra discovered that his older murals were beginning to fade. He set out to find the perfect outdoor paints to fix them, and that quest led him to an obsession with pigments, the colorants in paint. Guerra now collects pigments and scours the country for what he calls forgotten and extinct pigments. Produced by Kerrie Hillman
