Thanks for posting, Paul. I had heard a little bit about this a while back.
Here's the link to a 9 minute piece on Maier on Chicago Tonight, which ran
on WTTW, channel 11 here in Chicago. I just watched it; it's fascinating.
The 1st American exhibition of her work will open in early January here in
Chicago at the Cultural Center. I'll attend and provide a report back for
PDML. Given the size of Maier's archive & its subject matter, the
Department of Cultural Affairs in Chicago really should help with this
project in a major way, and it seems to be doing what it can, but every art
department in the city is strapped for money. It will be interesting to see
what the city continues to do for this lovely and important work.

Thanks again, Paul. Cheers, Christine

Subject: Vivian Maier, a street photographer discovered
This Chicago street photographer's work was discovered in a storage locker
after she died. Looks like she shot with a Rollei TLR in the 1950s. Baksed
on what is shown here, her work appears to be outstanding.
