Hi Everyone: Here's a quick gallery of photos from the opening reception. http://www.caguila.com/caguila/pdmlmaier/index.html
Also, Miserere, aka Jose Luis, asked me to do a quick report for his blog Enticing the Light, which I've sent off to him. Below are two paragraphs from the short report. I'm also going to do a short piece for Root Beer Eyes, but I can't get to that just yet, but I'll post to PDML when I'm done. And there's an excellent article in the Jan 2011 issue of Chicago magazine. Here's the link:
http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/January-2011/Vivian-Maier-Street-Photographer/ "Seventy-two photographs are displayed in two large rooms, and each contains a museum case with Maier ephemera. Room one offers three walls of 12 x 12 black and white and one wall of color prints taken in New York, Chicago, California, Egypt, and Canada. The museum case in room one contains four of Maier's wide brimmed hats and items from her personal papers: a handwritten note: "Do best job-so no redo!!-customer is very particular" and an envelope addressed to Maier with the return address of the still existing Central Camera on Wabash Avenue. Maier is reported as having her film developed there. Room two displays all black and white photographs mostly taken in New York, a few in Chicago, and the famous White Dress photograph made in Florida circa 1957. Also included are five self-portraits; three are reflections in either glass or metal, and two are shadow self-portraits. The museum case in room two includes three of Maier's cameras, most notably her Rolleiflex and Exakta; samples of her own printmaking; seven rolls of exposed Ektachrome, 15 rolls of exposed 120 Kodak Pan; and one 8mm film canister signifying the several 8mm movies Maier is reported as having made during her lifetime."
