Should be very interesting. Thanks for the notice. I have a couple of books of Maier's images.

Maier is an enigmatic artist who could have obtained some fame if her work was noticed in her lifetime. Her work was discovered in 2007; mostly still on undeveloped film rolls -- over 100,000 exposures! Proof that creativity does not need to be recognized to be fulfilling.
There is remarkable parallel development to Helen Levitt, a New York woman "street" photographer who concentrated on similar scenes and subjects during the same period - 50's and 60's. Levitt was called the "most celebrated least known photographer of her time", by Artforum magazine. But unlike Maier, Levitt was known during her time.
