內容簡介

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during the 1950s through the 1970s in New York, Chicago, and on her travels around the country—almost exclusively unpublished and including her previously unknown color work.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

一直都很信任京東物流，但這次讓我失望瞭，書本的包裝運輸還有待加強呀，邊角給磕破瞭。對於薇薇安本人我不作評價，裏麵的照片選擇感覺齣現的自拍頻率比較高，部分照片略顯普通，嚴格來說算不上大師級作品，書的紙張相對同等價位的攝影集顯得薄瞭些，價格虛高（商業炒作的緣故吧）。

感謝 非常不錯！

薇薇安邁爾，一如既往的美國街頭的景色，既有流浪的人，普通的群眾，沒想到也有奧黛麗赫本的齣現。vivian的畫冊已經入瞭三本瞭，她的海量未公開照片，不知道啥時候纔能全部展現齣來。

給力啊，滿滿地大實話，明天坐等！

這本書非常不錯，人文氣息非常濃厚

坦白說，我是衝著vivian來買的，但這書的印刷也太差瞭吧

終於等到這本冊子打摺瞭

搶到瞭券，太劃算瞭，很值得

非常好，送貨小夥很給力w
