A spokesperson describes the event as follows:
“…Saul Leiter: Centennial features more than 40 photographs, paintings, and painted photographs, many of which have never been on public view in the U.S. The exhibition, created in collaboration with the Saul Leiter Foundation, coincides with a new book, Saul Leiter: The Centennial Retrospective, published by Thames & Hudson. Saul Leiter, who was born on December 3, 1923, photographed and painted nearly every day for over 60 years. He made an enormous and unique contribution to photography during a highly prolific period in New York City in the 1950s as an early pioneer of color. His abstracted forms and radically innovative compositions have a painterly quality that stands out from the work of his New York School contemporaries. Often, he found inspiration within a few blocks of his apartment in lower Manhattan, seeking beauty in the ordinary, and capturing intimate moments, both indoors and on the streets. The exhibition at Howard Greenberg Gallery surveys his black-and-white as well as his color photographs including portraiture and cityscapes from the 1940s-1960s, his paintings (on which he worked until the end of his life) including abstract watercolors and painted photographs, and his fashion photography from Harper’s Bazaar circa 1960…”
