Vivian Maier will never know the height of her own fame.
The mysterious Chicago photographer died an unknown artist at the age of 83, leaving behind a treasure trove of over 150,000 images hardly anyone had ever seen. It wasn't until a few years ago -- shortly after Maier had passed away in 2009 -- that her hoard of stunning artwork made its way to the world wide web, courtesy of a lucky thrifter named John Maloof. He'd purchased her works at an abandoned storage unit sale, serendipitously discovering one of the 20th century's most talented and well hidden street photographers.
