內容簡介

The definitive monograph of American photographer Vivian Maier, exploring the full range and brilliance of her work and the mystery of her life, written and edited by noted photography curator and writer Marvin Heiferman and featuring 250 black-and-white images, color work, and other materials never seen before.

Vivian Maier’s story—the secretive nanny-photographer during her life who becomes a popular sensation shortly after her death—has, to date, been pieced together only from previously seen or known images she made and the handful of facts that have surfaced about her life. During her lifetime she shot more than 100,000 images, which she kept hidden from the world. In 2007, two years before her death, Chicago historic preservationist John Maloof discovered a trove of negatives, and roll upon roll of undeveloped film in a storage locker he bought at auction. They revealed a surprising and accomplished artist and a stunning body of work, which Maloof championed and brought to worldwide acclaim.

Vivian Maier presents the most comprehensive collection and largest selection of the photographer’s work—created during the 1950s through the 1970s in New York, Chicago, and on her travels around the country—almost exclusively unpublished and including her previously unknown color work. It features images of and excerpts from Maier’s personal artifacts, memorabilia, and audiotapes, made available for the first time. This remarkable volume draws upon recently conducted interviews with people who knew Maier, which shed new light on Maier’s photographic skill and her life.

前言/序言

很不錯的書，值得珍藏

（然後繼續吐槽京東的包裝，現在都已經不奢望能好好包裝的程度瞭，加個泡沫墊和硬包裝很難麼）

非常好，最低調的街拍大師。直到去世都無人知曉

坦白說，我是衝著vivian來買的，但這書的印刷也太差瞭吧

體積很大的一本原版書，前半部分是文字，後麵是作品，標題，拍攝時間，印刷很好，彩色照片有一些，但是還是有些少啊，

比**優惠很多，值得購買

很不錯的書，值得珍藏

書本身是不錯的，但是京東的服務實在令人氣憤，這麼貴重的進口書，我畫好*買的，竟然連層塑料封皮包裝都不給，裝箱的時候填充物也是做做樣子塞瞭兩張牛皮紙，書在裏頭咣當的硬殼封麵都皺瞭，紙質的外皮也給撕破口瞭，氣憤！明顯就是配貨不認真快遞不當心嘛！請你們自己站在消費者的角度好好想想，花瞭不少錢買迴來殘次品的東西擱誰誰不添堵？！
