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 During her lifetime, her photographs were unknown and unpublished and many of her negatives never developed and it was not until Chicago collector and editor of this volume John Maloof along with two other collectors,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.
