VIVIAN MAIER: SELF-PORTRAITS

Celebrated by The Wall Street Journal, Vanity Fair, The New York Times, American Photo, Town and Country and countless other publications, the life’s work of recently discovered street photographer Vivian Maier has captivated the world and spawned comparisons to
photography’s masters including Diane Arbus, Helen Levitt, Lisette Model, Walker Evans, and Weegee among others.

Now, for the first time, Vivian Maier: Self-Portraits reveals the fullest and most intimate portrait of the artist to date with approximately 60 never-before-seen black-and-white and four-color self-portraits culled from the extensive Maloof archive, the preeminent collector of the work of Vivian Maier and editor of the highly acclaimed Vivian Maier: Street Photographer (powerHouse Books, 2011)—bringing us closer to the reclusive artist than ever before.

This clothbound book contains 57 black and white photos and 29 color photos, it was printed in Italy.

Vivan Maier is famous for her street photography but I really like her style of self portraits - especially using mirrors to create them as I think it adds much more detail to the photograph.
