    Vivian Maier Meaning Without Context

    http://www.bulgergallery.com/dynamic...?ExhibitID=286

    I am excited to be part of this opening , I hope anyone visiting Toronto will catch the show.

    This was a Bucket List printing assignment for me and I hope I do justice to her work.

    I hope my passport renewal is processed soon enough to attend.
    Very best of luck, Bob. It's an amazing opportunity.

    Good for you Bob. Great thread title. It mad me laugh when I saw what the thread was actually about. I personally think the context thing is a minor point. Hell we know far more about her context than we know about almost any art from antiquity and showing that work never bothered anybody in the slightest. I think it's the photography equivalent of everyone trying to find something daily to get outraged about politically-usually much ado about nothing. It only feeds the blood pressure medication companies


    Anyway. Wish I could be there. I find her work fascinating.
    Thanks,

    Yes, sounds great Bob.

    What image size are the prints?

    I have passport but may not be able to travel.

    I only ask for image size of prints as there was a Chicago showing of 4 ft prints.

    Which one was that? I saw the one at Harold Washington and I think those were 16x20 or maybe 20x24.

    http://chicagohistory.org/planavisit...maiers-chicago However i beleive this may be a different show as, 'Open through July 30, 2017.'
    I did NOT see it as I read a review that said the images were huge 4 ft. I also find their admission too high.

    The review was not negative and I cannot find it.

    I decided the image print size was too big for me. Blown very far IMHO.

    It was first shown several years ago. Maybe the same exhibit?

    I have 2 books of Vivian prints, I like that size...and a book lasts longer than a 'look see'.
