Late last year I discovered a video somewhere in internetland about the story of Vivian Maier. In Chicago a gentleman paid a small sum for the undiscovered treasure. The story of this nanny who has now wowed the world with her photography, and who incidentally recorded some of the most interesting marvels and peculiarities of Urban America in the second half of the twentieth century is seemingly beyond belief. Taking snapshots into the late 1990′s, Maier would leave behind a body of work comprising over 100,000 negatives. Finally her work will be shown posthumously at the Howard Greenberg gallery from December 15, 2011 - January 28, 2012. Be there and get ready to be blown away!

About Me
My Photo
I've been in the art and photography industry for 15 years as a photographer, curator and art consultant. I've been fortunate to work with ASMPNY as a portfolio reviewer as well as a panelist for photography events here in the city. Earlier this year my exhibition, "Hotter Than July" was reviewed by senior art critic of New York Magazine, Jerry Saltz. In the past I founded veaux.org, a site for emerging creatives with a gallery space in Chelsea as well as curator/consultant of exhibitions for the Hipstamatic iphone app. Currently I'm working on a project documenting the New York art world while curating exhibitions around the city.
