Mostly known for her black and white photography, Vivian Maier is an icon in American street photography. A genre mainly dominated by photographers such as Robert Frank, Joel Meyerowitz and Lee Friedlander. Maier’s observant eye as an unknown outsider and as a woman make her work a significant addition to the canon of photography. This exhibition at Foam focuses on a lesser known aspect of her work: over 60 color photographs from the period between 1956 – 1986.

Works in Color shows street scenes in Chicago, - the city where Maier lived for much of her life - featuring people, objects, billboards and shop windows. Her work in color seems altogether playful and tongue in cheek.
