A street photographer who worked in obscurity from the mid-'50s until her death in 2009, Vivian Maier is now the subject of a theatrically released documentary, a BBC special and, most recently, the lobby of the Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel, Chicago.
Ms. Maier, who spent her career working as a nanny in affluent Chicago suburbs, gets a showcase at the 334-room downtown hotel with 11 black-and-white limited edition prints.
Hanging in the newly renovated lobby, the images of a blues musician, the overhead El train tracks and various characters offer a time-capsule glimpse of late-20th-century Chicago.
"It's all about what we felt was Chicago," said the hotel general manager Pierre-Louis Giacotto. "Every picture speaks to you about that era or the person behind it. She had a very, very good eye for seeing what common people don't see."
The photographs are visible to guests and visitors in the lobby and expand the cultural appeal of the hotel, which is housed in the acclaimed Aqua building designed by the architect Jeanne Gang.
