<meta charset="utf-8"><span data-mce-fragment="1">Sans l'improbable découverte d'un lot de photographies anonymes lors d'une vente aux enchères en 2007, le travail de Vivian Maier n'aurait jamais été connu. Cette photographe hors norme (New York, 1926 ¿ Chicago, 2009) a produit, tout au long de sa vie, une œuvre considérable (plus de 140 000 images), jamais montrée de son vivant. Fine observatrice de son époque, elle a su saisir avec acuité l'universalité de la condition humaine. Reconnue comme l'une des artistes majeures du XXe siècle, l'engouement et la fascination pour la photographe a aujourd'hui largement dépassé le cercle des amateurs. Mais qui était réellement Vivian Maier ? Cette biographie illustrée de plus de 400 photographies et documents inédits, fruit de six années de recherches, lève enfin le voile sur la vie de ce personnage secret et solitaire. L'auteur, Ann Marks, nous révèle les fragilités et les forces d'une femme libre, féministe et engagée, portée par un sens de l'humour salvateur.</span> Paris, 2021 delpire & co 368 p., BROCHÉ. 170 x 240 mm

A full-career retrospective on the work of Vivian Maier, bringing together a selection of key works from throughout her life and career. When Vivian Maier's archive was discovered in Chicago in 2007, the photography community gained an immense and singular talent. Maier lived in relative obscurity until her death in 2009, but is now the subject of films and books, and recognized as one of the great American photographers of the 20th century. Born in New York in 1926, she worked as a nanny in New York and Chicago for much of her adult life. It was during her years as a nanny that she took many of the photographs that have made her posthumously famous. Maier's incredible body of work consists of more than 150,000 photographic images, Super 8 and 16 mm films, various recordings and a multitude of undeveloped films. Working primarily as a street photographer, Maier's work has been compared with such luminaries as Helen Levitt, Robert Frank, Diane Arbus and Joel Meyerowitz. Drawing on previously unpublished archives and recent scientific analyses, this retrospective sheds new light on Maier's work. With texts by Anne Morin and Christa Bl mlinger, this thorough look at Maier's entire archive is organized thematically in sections that cover self-portraits, the street, portraits, gestures, cinematography, children, colour work and forms. A valuable addition to the continuing assessment of Maier's work, this book is a one-volume compendium of her most enduring images.
