Numerous self-portraits catch her reflection in glass or mirrored surfaces - a tall stooped figure peering down into the finder on her Rolleiflex camera held at her waist. 5.īorn in the Bronx and raised in Europe and the U.S., Maier settled in New York in the early 1950s, then moved to Chicago five years later where she feverishly photographed the streets and people around her in anonymity, developing her photos in her bathroom-converted darkroom. The exhibit coincides with the release of her first color monograph, The Color Work, as well as a similar show at the Howard Greenberg Gallery in New York through Jan. The new show features a selection of “Lifetime prints,” printed by the artist, as well as new chromogenic color prints, uncommon in a body of work that is predominantly black and white.
