The\u00a0Book Signing will\u00a0happen through\u00a0the Opening Reception on Thursday, July 25, 2013,\u00a05 – 9 p.m.<\/p>\n

This is\u00a0the first Canadian exhibition of photographs by Vivian Maier (1926 – 2009). \u201cOut of the Shadows\u201d features a selection of Maier\u2019s photographs from the 1950s through the 1970s, which was a highly creative period in her life.<\/p>\n

In addition to Maier\u2019s characteristic street portraiture, this exhibit will feature a prolific catalog of images that show an artist with relentless curiosity that worked in a vast range of subjects and styles. Maier\u2019s unique ability to brilliantly capture the zeitgeist is particularly apparent in shots of Chicago\u2019s famous Maxwell Street and in protest scenes taken during the social unrest of 1968.<\/p>\n

Maier\u2019s work was discovered in 2007 when boxes of 20,000 black and white negatives, colour slides, undeveloped film and vintage prints were discovered in a storage locker and sold at auction in Chicago. Jeffrey Goldstein eventually acquired his collection from two of the original buyers. Since its discovery, Maier\u2019s work has been exhibited all over the world.<\/p>\n

Born in New York, Maier was raised in France until returning to New York City in 1951, where she began seriously taking photographs, often shooting a full roll of film a day. She moved to Chicago in 1956, and spent the next 40 years as a nanny, dying at the age of 83 in 2009 before her work was exhibited.<\/p>\n
