Vivian Maier: In Color, features her work in color.
“Most people who are familiar with Vivian’s work see her as a black and white portraitist and street photographer,” Russick said. “To see it in color adds a whole dimension to it. “
Last year, the museum acquired 1,800 color slides, negative and transparencies from a Chicago-based art collector and primarily depicts people and scenes in Chicago from the 1950’s through 1970’s.
Following her death in 2009, Maier’s photographs were discovered in an abandoned storage locker and has been featured in at least 42 exhibitions around the world, including a previous display at the Chicago History Museum from 2021-2017.

Few artist profiles have skyrocketed more quickly than that of Vivian Maier, who went from an unknown at the time of her death in 2009 to one of this country’s most respected 20
th-century street photographers.
The latest boost to her now-international reputation will come May 8 when the Chicago History Museum opens “Vivian Maier: In Color.” She is best known for her black-and-white photos, but this exhibition showcases 65 of the Chicagoan’s color images, the majority of which have not been shown before, and excerpts from some of her 8mm films.
