Vivian Maier: The Color Work
Vivian Maier: The Color Work
Vivian Maier remains one of photography’s most fascinating mysteries. A quiet nanny whose secret life behind the lens would one day astonish the world. The Color Work gathers her vivid, lesser-known color photographs into one exquisite volume, offering a rare glimpse into her brilliant eye for light, shadow, and human gesture.
With a foreword by Joel Meyerowitz and text by curator Colin Westerbeck, this collection reveals Maier’s gift for finding poetry in the ordinary. Like a window into a forgotten world, each image glows with wit, warmth, and a whisper of wonder — proof that sometimes the most extraordinary artists are the ones who never sought to be seen.

MR. BODDINGTON WAS MY IMAGINARY FRIEND
About twenty years ago, Rebecca Ruebensaal found herself weeping in a bathroom stall at her dreaded corporate job. Desperate to make NYC rent, there was only one probable solution. She called upon her childhood imaginary friend, a globetrotting gentleman named Mr. Boddington, and started a small business devoted to paper. Her parents were dizzy with worry.
In its early years, Mr. Boddington created engraved and letterpress invitations for picky yet impeccable brides in Manhattan. Eventually the business evolved to offering hand-illustrated greeting cards, stationery, books and globally-sourced desk accessories, always with Mr. B's idiosyncratic perspective as the guiding muse.
