76 bisher unveröffentlichte Arbeiten aus Saul Leiters reichem Archiv von Farbdias Saul Leiter (1923-2013), der heute als einer der weltweit grössten Fotografen und Pionier der Farbfotografie gilt, war bis in seine frühen Achtziger relativ unbekannt. Erst seit Kuratoren und Kritiker ihn vor zwei Jahrzehnten neu entdeckten, erfährt sein Werk die gebührende Wertschätzung. In strahlenden Farben gaben Leiters Bilder den Lebensrhythmus in den Strassen New Yorks der 1950er- und 60er Jahre wieder, während seine Zeitgenossen noch in Schwarzweiss fotografierten. Seine komplexen und impressionistisch anmutenden Fotografien halten sowohl eine Stimmung als auch den berühmten entscheidenden Moment fest.

Il est de ces photographes qui ne cherchent pas la notoriété, ni le succès commercial malgré une certaine aptitude à l’image appliquée. Né à Pittsburgh, il délaisse vite ses études pour rejoindre New York au tournant des années 1940-1950. Dans ce lieu de création intense où se croisent et s’expérimentent des recherches venues des horizons européens et américains, il rencontre Rothko et les expressionnistes abstraits, Faurer et Smith. Il découvre la Street photography et le travail d’Henri Cartier-Bresson. Mais ses images de rue sont d’une extrême originalité et ne témoignent d’aucune influence directe. Il impose sa maîtrise de la couleur dans des vues citadines non conventionnelles dans lesquelles les reflets, les transparences, la complexité des cadrages, les effets de miroir se marient à une technique très particulière des émulsions pour écrire une forme unique de pastorale

Now widely acclaimed as one of the world's greatest photographers, Saul Leiter (1923-2013) remained relatively unsung until he was rediscovered by curators and critics in his early 80s, and his work has been drastically re-evaluated over the last two decades. Leiter's images evoked the flow and rhythm of life on the mid-century streets of New York in luminous colour at a time when his contemporaries were shooting in black and white. His complex and impressionistic photographs are as much about evoking an atmosphere as nailing the decisive moment. - Saul Leiter was born in Pittsburgh and moved to New York City in 1946. He pioneered a painterly approach to colour photography starting in the late 1940s and produced covers for fashion magazines such as Esquire and Harper's Bazaar before largely withdrawing from public attention in the 1980s. The publication in 2006 of his first monograph, Early Color, inspired an avid 'rediscovery' of Leiter's work by contemporary audiences.0 His studio in New York's East Village, where he lived from 1952 until his death in 2013, is now the home of the Saul Leiter Foundation. The Foundation has begun a full-scale survey and organization of his more than 80,000 works, with the aim of compiling the 'complete' archive. This volume contains works discovered through this process, specifically colour slides, never before published or seen by the public. Meticulously curated by Margit Erb and Michael Parillo of the Saul Leiter Foundation and supported by texts that explain how Leiter built the slide archive and how it is now being explored, catalogued and restored, this new monograph, presented in a real cloth binding, will be a must-have for photography fans worldwide.

Saul Leiter has only in recent years finally received his due as one of the great pioneers of color photography. This can perhaps be attributed to the fact that Leiter saw himself for a long time mainly as a painter. After coming to New York in 1946, he exhibited alongside Abstract Expressionists like Willem de Kooning before beginning in the late 1940s to take black and white photographs. Like Robert Frank or Helen Levitt, he found his motifs on the streets of New York, but at the same time was visibly interested in abstraction. Edward Steichen was one of the first to discover Leiter’s photography, showing it in the 1950s in two important exhibitions at New York’s MoMA. Back then color photography was regarded as »low art,« fit only for advertising. Leiter accordingly worked primarily as a fashion photographer, for magazines such as Esquire and Harper’s Bazaar. Nearly 40 years would go by before his extraordinary artistic color photography was rediscovered. This book, published to mark the first major retrospective of Leiter’s work anywhere in the world, features for the first time, in addition to his early black and white and color images, his fashion photography, the overpainted nudes, as well as his paintings and sketchbooks.
