I have posted on the work of Vivian Maier before ---on some of her street photography in Chicago. As we know Maier’s massive body of work came to light in 2007 when her work was discovered at a local thrift auction house on Chicago’s Northwest Side.
This body of work (100, 000 negatives and hundreds of rolls of film) is being archived and cataloged by John Maloof. There is now a website of her work up, and we can more clearly see the variety body of her work including the Chicago street work.
Vivian Maier, untitled, August, 1975
My eye this time was caught by the colour work shooting on mostly Kodak Ektachrome 35mm film using a Leica IIIc.
There is not much in the colour portfolio and what was there was mostly done in 1975. I understand that the color work became more abstract as time went on. People slowly crept out of her photos to be replaced with found objects, newspapers, and graffiti.
