Vivian Maier: The Color Works

The coffee table book "Vivian Maier: The Color Works" is the first definitive monograph of color photographs by American street photographer Vivian Maier. With more than 150 color photographs, most of which have never been published in book form, this collection of images deepens our understanding of Maier, as the immediacy shows how eagerly she captured and presented her interpretation of the world around her.

The allure of photographer Vivian Maier remains, even as many details of her life remain a mystery. Her story - the mysterious Chicago nanny whose work was discovered in two storage sheds that were auctioned off for not paying the rent - is pieced together only from the thousands of photographs she took and the handful of facts that have surfaced about her life. Vivian Maier: The Color Work is the largest and best-composed collection of Maier's full-color photographs published to date.

With a foreword by world-renowned photographer Joel Meyerowitz and text by curator Colin Westerbeck, this definitive volume sheds light on the nature of Maier's color photographs by examining them within the context of her black-and-white work and the images of street photographers with whom she had obvious affinities, such as Eugène Atget and Lee Friedlander.
