Description

Saul Leiter's vibrant colour slides have been rediscovered, offering a unique glimpse into the life and work of one of the world's greatest photographers. This collection, meticulously curated by Margit Erb and Michael Parillo, brings together 76 previously unpublished colour slides, showcasing Leiter's pioneering approach to colour photography in the mid-century streets of New York. Born in Pittsburgh in 1923, Leiter moved to New York City in 1946 and developed a painterly approach to colour photography. His images evoke an atmosphere, capturing the flow and rhythm of life on the city streets in luminous colour. This monograph provides a fascinating insight into Leiter's studio archive, which is now being explored, catalogued and restored by the Saul Leiter Foundation. With accompanying texts that explain how Leiter built his slide archive and how it is being preserved, this volume is a must-have for photography enthusiasts worldwide.
