Hi Everyone: Here's a quick gallery of photos from the opening
reception.

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."
Cheers, Christine
