[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 47349, member: 6548"] Cindy Sherman, Steiglitz, and Avedon... James I agree with you that Ms. Maier is indeed very intriguing but she is only reknowned now because someone is exploiting her production and marketed it to go viral on the net...Ms. Maier was very well known to NOT show her photos to anyone...very few folks ever seen them during her lifetime...she did not want them displayed...ole boy paid $400 for a huge lot of negatives...started whipping up interest on the net and has now wormed his way into national galleries selling HER prints for upwards of $2000 a piece (please note she could not afford to pay rent on her storage building and thus lost the negatives at auction)...and to be completely honest with you most of her shots are like many of ours not saying that we suck but you know...we're not Steiglitz either.
