There is still very little known about the life of Vivian Maier. Seemingly without a family of her own, the children she cared for eventually acted as caregivers for Maier herself in the autumn of her life. What is known is that she was born in New York in 1926 and worked as a nanny for a family on Chicago's North Shore during the 50s and 60s.
Maier lost possession of her art when her storage locker was sold off for non-payment. She took hundreds of thousands of photographs in her lifetime, but never shared them with anyone. She passed away in 2009 at the age of 83.
John Maloof is a filmaker and street photographer. He discovered the first negatives of Vivian Maier's work in 2007 while compiling a book about the history of the neighborhood where he grew up. He edited the first published collection of Maier's work, Vivian Maier: Street Photographer (powerHouse Books, 2011).Elizabeth Avedon is an independent curator and writer.
The former Director of Photo-Eye Gallery, Santa Fe and Creative Director for The Gere Foundation, she has received awards and recognition for her exhibition design and publishing projects, including the retrospective exhibition and book.
