Maier lived in relative obscurity until her death in 2009, but is now the subject of films and books, and recognised as one of the great American photographers of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in New York in 1926, she worked as a nanny in New York and Chicago for much of her adult life.

Maier's incredible body of work consists of more than 150,000 photographic images, Super 8 and 16 mm films, various recordings, and a multitude of undeveloped films. Working primarily as a street photographer, Maier's work has been compared with such luminaries as Helen Levitt, Robert Frank, Diane Arbus, and Joel Meyerowitz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on previously unpublished archives and recent scientific analyses, this retrospective sheds new light on Maier's work.
