Vivian maier street photographer6/29/2023 ![]() I find her photos disturbing enough to think there’s something there. John Maloof, a Chicago writer researching a neighborhood history, discovered one box of her negatives and then more, printed some and then many, and then Vivian Maier, who had lived her life in obscurity, was the talk of the art world. This image is blurred because it is part of the background of a photo of a window-washer that is included in the 2011 book Vivian Maier: Street Photographer.įor the moment, Maier’s story has overwhelmed an evaluation of her art.ĭuring the course of a half a century, she took 100,000 photographic negatives, mostly on city streets, but did virtually nothing to find an audience for them. There is so much of her that is not known, so much hard to read. Her foot is about to step on a trolley rail. This graceful woman in a stylish black dress is walking across a city street. ![]()
