A compact introduction to Vivian Maier’s street photography

Anne Morin’s Photofile volume gathers Vivian Maier’s photographs into a concise monograph centered on her record of everyday urban life. Made while Maier worked as a nanny in New York City and Chicago from the mid-1950s onward, the images include street scenes, self-portraits, and brief, reflective encounters within the city. The book also places the work in the context of Maier’s posthumous emergence after the discovery of her archive in 2007, offering an accessible entry point to a photographer whose extensive body of work documents facets of American city life.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers seeking an accessible monograph on an individual photographer
  • Fans of street photography and candid urban images
  • Those interested in mid- to late-twentieth-century American life

Book overview

Following the discovery of her archive in a thrift auction house in 2007, Vivian Maier's posthumous trajectory from relative obscurity to one of the great American photographers of the twentieth century is the story of a singular talent. From the mid-1950s throughout her adult life, she worked as a nanny in New York City and Chicago. During this time, she created a huge body of photographs and films recording everyday street life, often including self-portraits and moments of fleeting reflection within the cityscape, and earning her comparisons to Helen Levitt, Robert Frank, and Diane Arbus. This new addition to the Photofile series is a succinct and essential overview of Maier's work, and a fascinating window into American life.
