Weegee wins. There are two exhibitions of Maier's work in NY right now
and three Weegee's. The gallery we went to was the Steven Kasher
http://www.vivianmaierprints.com/exhibitions/steven-kasher-gallery.html
THe Weegee selections were wonderful... the Maier wasn't curated very
well. That's why I say Weegee wins.
The Maier's at this gallery are from the Goldstein batch - not the
Maloof pieces that we were all discussing last year. The gallery
culled what they showed from Goldstein's - which I don't remember ever
seeing before - but some of you might have.
Oddly, there are some pages of images from the Goldstein collection
shown on line - which I thought would have been those shown at the
gallery but only a few of them were there - and one standout was not
on the gallery page. Not sure what was going on there.
I'm thinking two diffrent people curated the Weegee and the Maier.
My friend who I went with muttered "(Even) I could have done better"
It was a shame. So looking forward to going to the Greenberg gallery
soon to see the bigger show.. which are the photos from the book I
believe (and more?)
