Interview: Jeffrey Goldstein On Why He’s Suing Vivian Maier’s Estate

P. S. We’re still perusing our Popestock proofs to see if Viv is in there. Someone should do the same with hers, for us.
This Is Your Life, Vivian Maier
Drop everything. Hie thee to Hevanston.
Richard Cahan and Michael Williams assembled the new book Eye To Eye (they previously produced Vivian Maier: Out of the Shadows) with photographs from the Jeffrey Goldstein Collection.
Perhaps you were there when Mr. Cahan spoke at BHS about the work of Richard Nickel a while back. He’s appearing tonight at Bookends and Beginnings, at the address of the old Bookman’s Alley, 1712 Sherman. Call before you go: 224.999.7722. There’s no better use of your time tonight.
Viv, Julie, and… Livija
We’ve never had a bad time in Milwaukee, and there’s a good reason to go there while the weather permits: a lovely little show at the Portrait Society Gallery in the Third Ward. It’s called “Certificates Of Presence.” There are new darkroom prints from Vivian Maier’s negatives (as always, one or two you’ve yet to see); iPhone pictures from J.Lindemann’s year of being grounded (for a very good reason); and prints from another “found” archive, 300 Kodachrome slides by Latvian-born Livija Patikne. It’s up through March 8, so go. Say hi to Tony for us.

Two short news features have made WTTW’s coverage of Vivian Maier into a little trilogy.
You’ve probably seen the first story, from last summer: http://chicagotonight.wttw.com/2012/07/31/vivian-maier
The new material appeared last week, over two nights. The other important owners of Ms. Maier’s negatives finally get to flesh out the story and early results of detective research place her in locations and dates.
