Chicago, February 1976

Vivian Maier was a nanny who spent more than 40 years working for families first in New York, then on Chicago’s North Shore. An intensely private person, her photography was unknown and unpublished during her lifetime, but two years before her death, her work was discovered. A selection of her colour images is exhibited at Huxley-Parlour Gallery, London, 31 July-14 September
