内容简介

The definitive monograph of American photographer Vivian Maier, exploring the full range and brilliance of her work and the mystery of her life, written and edited by noted photography curator and writer Marvin Heiferman and featuring 250 black-and-white images, color work, and other materials never seen before.

Vivian Maier’s story—the secretive nanny-photographer during her life who becomes a popular sensation shortly after her death—has, to date, been pieced together only from previously seen or known images she made and the handful of facts that have surfaced about her life. During her lifetime she shot more than 100,000 images, which she kept hidden from the world. In 2007, two years before her death, Chicago historic preservationist John Maloof discovered a trove of negatives, and roll upon roll of undeveloped film in a storage locker he bought at auction. They revealed a surprising and accomplished artist and a stunning body of work, which Maloof championed and brought to worldwide acclaim.

Vivian Maier presents the most comprehensive collection and largest selection of the photographer’s work—created during the 1950s through the 1970s in New York, Chicago, and on her travels around the country—almost exclusively unpublished and including her previously unknown color work. It features images of and excerpts from Maier’s personal artifacts, memorabilia, and audiotapes, made available for the first time. This remarkable volume draws upon recently conducted interviews with people who knew Maier, which shed new light on Maier’s photographic skill and her life.

前言/序言

看过薇薇安作品，不知为什么脑海里浮现的是电影《美国往事》的一幕幕.她的摄影细腻富有感情，视角温和朴实！我曾猜想身为保姆对上流社会是否抱有某种不满与讽刺.但在照片中全然体现的是美好的感受，薇薇安的心里一定是充满爱的.相比《美国人》，薇薇安的作品更令我动容！

（然后继续吐槽京东的包装，现在都已经不奢望能好好包装的程度了，加个泡沫垫和硬包装很难么）

值得购买的一本画册，很好?

太经典了 活动给力 赶紧收藏一本

完美、外国出版的书质量就是好、还有好多网上没有的图

体积很大的一本原版书，前半部分是文字，后面是作品，标题，拍摄时间，印刷很好，彩色照片有一些，但是还是有些少啊，

非常好的一本书，非常喜欢的摄影师，大开本，质量很好

坦白说，我是冲着vivian来买的，但这书的印刷也太差了吧

太好了 很难买到
