Her work was discovered only by chance in 2007, when part of her archive was auctioned off due to unpaid storage fees. Filmmaker and collector John Maloof recognized the cultural and artistic value of the material and began meticulously reconstructing the archive. Since then, Vivian Maier has been celebrated worldwide as one of the most important voices in street photography. Her images from fleeting urban scenes to intimate portraits are marked by a rare sense of composition, timing, and human depth.

This exhibition invites visitors to rediscover not only her famous black-and-white works but also her often-neglected color photographs. These images offer a surprising perspective on Maier’s artistic practice: they highlight her technical mastery as well as her emotional sensitivity in capturing light, color, and atmosphere. She documented life not only in New York and Chicago but also traveled with her camera to places such as Paris, Puerto Rico, Bangkok, Cairo, and Genoa.
