"Chicago nanny Vivian Maier died in 2009, leaving behind 100,000 negatives that no one but she had ever seen. Her work was discovered by chance, and now the photographs she took on her days off are being hailed as 'ranking up there' with the best in 20th-century street photography."
Hermione Hoby, the Guardian
Hear John Maloof, the man who discovered this incredible archive, speak about her work and reveal insights into the enigma that was Vivian Maier. Maloof, a Chicago historian will discuss the circumstances surrounding his discovery as well as present his ideas of who Vivian Maier was, where she lived and how she made pictures.
