description: Presenting her breathtaking photographs alongside interviews with those who knew her best this volume is the first attempt to put Vivian Maiers work in context and create a moving portrait of her as an artist. Though she created more than 10000 negatives during her lifetime only a few of them were ever seen by others. Shortly after her death in 2009 the first group of her unseen photographsgritty with humanity and filled with empathy and beautywere shown online. What followed was a firestorm of attention catapulting Maier from previous obscurity to being labeled as one of the masters of street photography. Her work has appeared in numerous museum exhibits and a feature-length documentary on her life and art has already been planned. Features 275 black and white photos on heavy gloss paper.
