A Heart-Warming Story of A Rediscovered Artist

Vivian Maier  1926-2009
Vivian Maier- Photograper


I found this story on twitter and found it delightful. This woman completed an astonishing amount of work while working as a domestic primarily. At a property sale, the owner of the negatives, prints and undeveloped film bought 33,000 negative for $400. He found more stored materials and purchased them, at probably the same price, more or less. To date, the present value is unknown and priceless! What a great find for him and art-lovers.
