Gallery Updated (51 Color images) May 31, 2022 • Video Below: Ann Marks provides an overview of her research.

Vivian Maier (February 1, 1926 – April 21, 2009)

An American of French and Austro-Hungarian extraction, Vivian bounced between Europe and the United States before coming back to New York City in 1951. Having picked up photography just two years earlier, she would comb the streets of the Big Apple refining her artistic craft. By 1956 Vivian left the East Coast for Chicago, where she’d spend most of the rest of her life working as a caregiver. Throughout her life Vivian would shoot photos that she zealously hid from the eyes of others. Taking photographs into the late 1990′s, Maier would leave behind a body of work comprising over 150,000 negatives. Additionally Vivian’s passion for documenting extended to a series of homemade documentary films and audio recordings. Interesting bits of Americana, the demolition of historic landmarks for new development, the unseen lives of ethnics and the destitute, as well as some of Chicago’s most cherished sites were all meticulously cataloged by Vivian Maier.

A free spirit but also a proud soul, Vivian became poor and was ultimately saved by three of the children she had nannied earlier in her life. Fondly remembering Maier as a second mother, they pooled together to pay for an apartment and took the best of care for her. Unbeknownst to them, one of Vivian’s storage lockers was auctioned off due to delinquent payments. In those storage lockers lay the massive hoard of negatives Maier secretly stashed throughout her lifetime.

Maier’s massive body of work would come to light when in 2007 her work was discovered at a local thrift auction house on Chicago’s Northwest Side. From there, it would eventually impact the world over and change the life of the man who championed her work and brought it to the public eye, John Maloof.

Currently, Vivian Maier’s body of work is being archived and cataloged for the enjoyment of others and for future generations. John Maloof is at the core of this project after reconstructing most of the archive, having been previously dispersed to the various buyers attending that auction. Now, with roughly 90% of her archive reconstructed, Vivian’s work is part of a renaissance in interest in the art of Street Photography.

Lumière is pleased to work with the Maloof Collection and Howard Greenberg Gallery to offer this exceptional work.

Additional biographical information can be found on the website VivianMaier.com

Vivian Maier Developed, How Life Events Informed Her Personality, Perspective and Photography.
November 12, 2016, researcher Ann Marks delivered a fascinating look into the genealogy and life of Vivian Maier, the elusive Chicago nanny whose street photography continues to capture the attention of the public and the art world, during a lecture broadcast at Lumière via Skype. Marks shared new insights and previously unknown facts about Maier during this public event.
Ann Marks

Ann Marks

Ann Marks, a retired business executive with 30 years of experience in marketing at Kraft General Foods, American Express and The Wall Street Journal, became interested in Maier after watching the documentary, Finding Vivian Maier. A devotee of mysteries and challenges, Marks set out, guided by her curiosity and research skills, to sift through census, court and government records to reveal more of Maier’s past.
Despite all the attention devoted to Maier, even the basic facts of her heritage were murky. Maier, who died in 2009, said little about her background and her work as a photographer to her friends and employers during her life. Due in part to Marks research, now it is public knowledge that Vivian Maier was born into a deeply unhappy and neglectful family. Her parents divorced early in her childhood, which led to her father’s disappearance from the family. Vivian and her brother Charles, who was also called Karl, were apparently not given much affection or even basic care from their mother.
Eugenie Jaussaud, Maier’s maternal grandmother, was an island of love and support for her granddaughter. Jaussaud, an immigrant from the French Alps, was employed as a cook for some of New York’s most socially prominent families. Through her work in these grand houses, Vivian was able to glimpse a larger world, though as the grandchild of a servant, she knew that she did not truly belong in this elite world. Jaussaud, who was by all accounts an excellent cook, also supported the Maier family financially through her earnings.
“I found it significant that Vivian started her photography when her grandmother died, severing her last connection to a close relative. I believe this was a trigger for her need to photograph—to capture pieces of life and call them her own for her own sense of identity,“ Marks said in a recent interview.
Perhaps the most significant discovery brought to light by Marks are the government records pertaining to Vivian’s estranged brother, Karl Maier, who was a drug addict and was later diagnosed with schizophrenia. “It had been over a year since the film was produced but there were no new discoveries. At the time, Cook County was looking for Vivian’s brother as he was the designated heir to her estate. I said to myself, ‘I bet I can find him’ and I did,” Marks said. Here she elaborates further:
The most interesting find by far was Vivian’s brother’s file from his three years at the Coxsackie Vocational detention center that I found in the New York Archives in Albany. There were 100 pages about his life including letters from every member of the family and detailed reports on his domestic situation. From this I gleaned an understanding of the family relationships and each member’s personality using their own words. The woman I believe had the most positive influence on Vivian’s life was her grandmother Eugenie Jaussaud. She worked as a cook for the richest families in American and at one point wrote to her grandson from the Vanderbilt estate in Palm Beach, addressing the envelope ‘Coxsackie Vacational.’ She comes across as wise, responsible and charming. When she died in 1948, Eugenie left Vivian money that she used to buy her first camera.
Because her research enabled Marks to gain a deeper understanding of Maier, she takes issue with the often repeated idea that Maier never showed her work to others because she was so private.
“She took pictures because she needed to take pictures for herself. That said, indications are that she thought her work was strong, but even if she wanted to come forth as an artist she didn’t have the skills, means, or relationships to do so. Many have taken this to mean that Vivian Maier was so private that she wouldn’t have wanted her work to be shown. I strongly disagree with this assessment. Vivian wasn’t private, she was secretive because she wanted to hide her sordid family background. She was actually extroverted and opinionated,” Marks said. “She was also obsessed with celebrity, and she chased them like paparazzi do today. I believe she would have been thrilled by the recognition and fame her work has achieved.”

The Real Story of the Photographer Nanny and a Thematic Review of her Work
Thank you to the standing room crowd who braved the elements on Saturday, January 19th.

Ann Marks

When John Maloof’s 2013 documentary Finding Vivian Maier debuted, former New York business executive Ann Marks was one of thousands of people who were intrigued by the story of a mysterious Chicago nanny who made over 100,000 photographs that were hidden away unseen in storage lockers until John Maloof discovered them in 2007. Maier, who died in 2009 and never tried to exhibit or publicize her work during her lifetime, is now being hailed by critics as a master of street photography.
Marks felt such a keen interest in Maier’s life after watching the documentary and undertook a personal research project to fill in the blanks in this elusive artist’s life.
READ ENTIRE ARTICLE
“When I saw the movie Finding Vivian Maier I was so taken with the story and images, that I went online for more information. I felt if I understood Maier’s background, I could better understand her work. At the time, Cook County was looking for Vivian’s brother as he was the designated heir to her estate. I said to myself, ‘I bet I can find what happened to him’ and I did,” Marks said in a recent interview.
Virtually nothing was known about Vivian Maier before John Maloof purchased her photographs that were found in a defaulted storage locker and auctioned off. Maloof is the primary owner of Maier’s images and has been the driving force to bring her story to the public.
Despite the publication of several photo books of Maier’s work and the creation of the documentary, her family history remained a mystery. According to most accounts, Vivian was an extremely private person and rarely spoke of herself at all. Enter Ann Marks… For 30 years Marks was a marketing executive and worked for Kraft General Foods, American Express and Dow Jones/The Wall Street Journal. The skills she developed in her career helped her make important discoveries about Maier’s past. “I think my business background does tie into my work related to Vivian Maier. An important part of my work was understanding people through research—what they ate, how they shopped, what they read, how they made decisions—and the type of research I am doing regarding Vivian is an extension of that interest and expertise,” Marks said.
Marks dug though historical documents and government records to establish previously unknown facts about the photographer’s ancestry and life and collaborated with supporters in her hometown in the Haute Alpes. The only person to have access to Vivian Maier’s complete archive, Marks studied photographs for clues that enabled her to track down and interview individuals from Maier’s entire life, including those who knew her in New York during the time she began photography.
The Lumiere presentation covered key events from Maier’s life that informed her work as well as overarching themes represented in both her black & white and color images.

Feinstein/Maier Reviewed in ArtsATL

Lumière’s “View from the Street” a lively dialogue between Harold Feinstein, Vivian Maier.

This exhibition pairs the work of two great photographers. Vivian Maier, who died in 2009, is the mysterious nanny who rocketed to posthumous stardom after the discovery of her negatives in a storage locker in 2007. Harold Feinstein, now 83, was already exhibiting at the Museum of Modern Art at the age of 19 and collected by the likes of Edward Steichen. He was associated with the influential New York school and collaborated with W. Eugene Smith.
It’s an ingenious coupling: the juxtaposition brings out their similarities and their differences.

An amateur Chicago historian unearthed a photographic treasure trove when he bought a box at a storage facility auction in 2007. John Maloof ‘s discovery of 150,000-plus negatives, hundreds of rolls of undeveloped film and countless reels of documentary film propelled an all-but-forgotten woman into the pantheon of photography.

Vivian Maier, a reclusive Chicago nanny, left behind her life’s work in that storage container, which was auctioned off for non-payment of rent. She died in a nursing home in early 2009 without ever sharing her life-long passion for photography. Now we must look to her work — what she chose to capture and how beautifully she recorded it — to understand the artist and her silence.
