This summer, the Arlington Museum of Art will feature work from an obscure but posthumously emerging American photographer, Vivian Maier.
The subject of the 2013 documentary, Finding Vivian Maier, this artist was an enigma not only in the photographic art community, but also in relation to the world stage. The primary focus in her accidentally discovered 150,000 plus negatives and rolls of undeveloped film, is what she saw on the streets of Chicago where she worked as a nanny in the North Shore area. Her images represent an incredibly poignant glimpse into the lives of ordinary people going about the business of daily life.
The Vivian Maier: Lost and Found exhibit will run from Saturday, May 21 to Sunday, August 21.
The Arlington Museum of Art is located at 201 W. Main Street. For more information, visitwww.arlingtonmuseum.org or call 817-275-4600.
