Some artists achieve substantial fame only after their death. Such fame is brought about through the efforts of a network of curators, critics, and estate managers who collectively shape a story from the life and work of the artist into a cohesive mythology and, in so doing, create or expand the market and value for the artist's work. Photographers are a unique subset of the posthumously famous artist. Unlike painting or sculpture, most photography is produced not for artistic purposes but to document people, events, places, or objects. When everyone is a photographer, what separates an artist from an amateur becomes a matter of marketing. This thesis explores the posthumous discovery of three of photography's key figures: Eugene Atget, Francesca Woodman, and Vivian Maier. It examines the stories of their discoveries and investigates significant aspects of creating an artist myth from a deceased artist's identity: control over the artist's estate, institutional support, and critical writing. Taking a broad look at the problems the photographic medium has historically faced in its acceptance as a fine art, this research demonstrates the necessity of establishing a photographer's mythology in order to further the market for their works.
