Sobre este artículo
Brooklyn , NY: PowerHouse Books, 2011. Hardcover. Fine/fine. Oversized hardcover. A fine, fresh, unused example in equally fine dust jacket. First edition, 11th printing. 136 pp. Vivian Maier (1926-2009) was an American street photographer whose work was not truly discovered until after her death. Born in New York City, she spent a goo portion of her working life as a nanny while also pursuing her photography. It is believed that she took some 150,000 pictures of people and architecture, largely of Chicago, New York and Los Angeles. During her lifetime, her photographs were unknown and unpublished and many of her negatives never developed and it was not until Chicago collector and editor of this volume John Maloof along with two other collectors, discovered a cache of prints and negatives in 2007. They had been sold off from a storage locker for non-payment. Using a web application, they published some of the photos and since that time Maier's photos have garnered great interest and have been exhibited worldwide. A 2013 documentary of her life "Finding Vivian Maier" was nominated for an Academy Award.
Sinopsis
There is still very little known about the life of Vivian Maier . What is known is that she was born in New York in 1926 and worked as a nanny for a family on Chicago's North Shore during the 50s and 60s. Seemingly without a family of her own, the children she cared for eventually acted as caregivers for Maier herself in the autumn of her life. She took hundreds of thousands of photographs in her lifetime, but never shared them with anyone. Maier lost possession of her art when her storage locker was sold off for non-payment. She passed away in 2009 at the age of 83. John Maloof is a filmaker and street photographer. He discovered the first negatives of Vivian Maier's work in 2007 while compiling a book about the history of the neighborhood where he grew up. He edited the first published collection of Maier's work, Vivian Maier: Street Photographer (powerHouse Books, 2011). Elizabeth Avedon is an independent curator and writer. The former Director of Photo-Eye Gallery, Santa Fe and Creative Director for The Gere Foundation, she has received awards and recognition for her exhibition design and publishing projects, including the retrospective exhibition and book: Avedon: 1949–1979 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Dallas Museum of Fine Arts; and Richard Avedon: In the American West for the Amon Carter Museum, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and The Art Institute of Chicago, among many others. Elizabeth is a regular contributor to Le Journal de la Photographie profiling notable leaders in the world of Photography.
