Maier was still alive at this point, but possibly unaware of the sale. In 2007 Maloof, a regular at auction houses and car boot sales, bought a box of negative film for $380. It is now exhibited in prestige galleries, sells as relatively expensive artwork and is compared to the work of major male and female professional photographers.įinding Vivian Maier is written and directed by John Maloof with Charlie Siskel. Essentially her work falls into ‘street photography’. However, she has achieved posthumous fame because of the quality of her photographic work, unknown and little seen in her lifetime. She worked most of her adult life as Nanny with various families in New York and Chicago. Vivian Maier was a New Yorker, of French parentage, born 1926 and died 2009. There was also a post-screen discussion, again unfortunately cut short by limitations of time. The screening at the Hyde Park was introduced by Helen Grant from the College of Art & Design: briefly as there was a large audience turnout and we started a little late. The screening accompanied an exhibition of the work of female photographers at the Village Bookstore and Gallery, ending with a Round Table Discussion, including ‘the effectiveness of the ‘female only’ curatorial approach. This film was screened at the Hyde Park Picture House as part of a programme titled The Female Gaze. Happy End (France-Austria-Germany 2017).
