Description

A NYC nanny with a penchant for privacy--Vivian Maier's stunning but secret street photographs surfaced after her death in a Chicago auction. YAY for artists who toil in brilliant anonymity among us-in no particular hurry to show us their work Yay for amateur sleuths like John Maloof who ferret them out and recognize the brilliance. Grateful these arresting images were found and preserved.
