Plus de 100 photographies et carnets de dessin de Saul Leiter sont exposés à la galerie londonienne The Photographers' gallery. Son travail révolutionnaire sur la couleur et l'abstrait a eu une influence majeure dans l'histoire de l'image. C'est la première rétrospective dédiée à l'artiste et la première fois qu'il est exposé dans une galerie britannique publique.
Saul Leiter (1923-2013) n'était pas destiné à devenir photographe. Elevé en Pennsylvanie, dans une famille juive orthodoxe qui attendait de lui qu'il devienne rabbin, il préfère l'étude de l'histoire de l'art et la peinture. A 23 ans, il débute sa carrière artistique à New ...
Le peintre, photographe et maître coloriste Saul Leiter (1923-2013) s'est éteint ce mardi 26 novembre à New York à l'âge de 89 ans des suite d'une longue maladie.
Originaire de Pennsylvanie, il abandonne l'école de théologie à l'orée des années 50' et s'envole à New-york vivre sa passion pour les arts et aiguiser son regard d'esthète avéré. Fin cadreur, il se fait rapidement remarquer pour son utilisation des couleurs. Travaillant celle-ci par aplat, il en fait un véritable sujet de ses clichés. Après une première exposition au MoMa en 1953, il commence à travailler comme photographe de mode pour divers magazines et intègre l'équipe du ...
Arte diffuse le documentaire sur Saul Leiter réalisé par Claude Ventura
Il fut l'un des pionniers de la photographie contemporaine couleur à une époque où seul le noir et blanc était digne d'intérêt. Il est considéré pour l'essentiel de son travail comme un photographe des rues de New York; il fut cependant plus réputé pour ses photographies de mode. Son but n'est pas d'illustrer la vie citadine, mais de rechercher les instants et les scènes fugaces. Il travaille des cadrages originaux en utilisant beaucoup des vides (noirs) dans ses images. La succession des plans dans ses images superpose différentes histoires génératrices de mystère. Il aime le flou — il joue de la mise au point —, la bu...
“I started out as a fashion photographer. One cannot say that I was successful but there was enough work to keep me busy. I collaborated with Harper’s Bazaar and other magazines. I was constantly aware that those who hired me would have preferred to work with a star such as Avedon. But it didn’t matter. I had work and I made a living. At the same time, I took my own photographs. Strangely enough, I knew exactly what I wanted and what I liked.”
Saul Leiter was a painter and only became a photographer when color photography could encompass the distinct color palette he wanted to include in his images. Since the 1940s, this inveterate walker has trawled the streets of New York, capturing its colors and spirit. His liking for disarray, solitude and elusiveness make him a unique artist, quite un...
Although Edward Steichen exhibited some of Saul Leiter’s color photographs at the Museum of Modern Art in 1953, for forty years afterwards they remained virtually unknown to the art world. Saul Leiter: Early Color provides the first opportunity to see a comprehensive presentation of images by one of photography’s great originals.
Leiter moved to New York in 1946 intending to be a painter and through his friendship with the abstract expressionist Richard Pousette-Dart he quickly recognized the creative potential of photography. Though he continued to paint, exhibiting alongside Philip Guston and Willem de Kooning, Leiter’s camera became — like an extension of his arm and mind — an ever-present interpreter of life in the metropolis.
The semi-mythical notion of the ‘New York stree...
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 conventionnel...

The group exhibition Encounters at the Fabian & Claude Walter Galerie in Zurich brings together a number of photographic positions that explore the issues of lust, intimacy, fantasy und body.
Pictured are convergences of intense life styles as well as erotic relationships or staged encounters, ranging from ambiguous to passionate to explicit. Artists like Nan Goldin (1953), Larry Clark (1943) or André Gelpke (1947) document life on societal peripheries, even if those margins run straight through our hip neighborhoods and well-to-do suburbs, or through our circles of friends and families. Other photographers, like Erwin Olaf (1959) or Roshan Adhihetty (1990), confront us ...
Gallery FIFTY ONE is honoured to announce its homage exhibition showing the oeuvre of the late Saul Leiter (1923-2013), a long-term artist-friend of the gallery. This tribute will be conducted in both gallery spaces and will give a large overview of his tender, contemplative and abstract work, including black and white, 'Early Color' photography and gouaches on paper.
Saul Leiter is most famous for his early color street photography from the 1940’s, with its painterly effect of transitory street moments, he captured his East Village neighbourhood in New York. His black and white street photography was composed in the same way. His gouaches on paper, in various sizes with pastel-evaporating colors, have a figurative basis, but turn mostly abstract and will be shown in juxtaposition to his photography.

En 2014, la Maison Européenne de la Photographie a imaginé, spécialement pour le Salon de la Photo, une exposition sur l'Eloge de la Couleur. Cette exposition est un hommage rendu à quelques-uns de ces pionniers: Gisèle Freund, Keld Helmer-Petersen mais aussi à ceux qui comme Bernard Faucon, Franco Fontana, William Eggleston, Joel Meyerowitz, Harry Callahan, Saul Leiter ou Luigi Ghirri ont construit leur œuvre sur la couleur.
"C’est l’esthétique du noir et blanc qui a dominé la première moitié du XXe siècle. Bien que les procédés couleur se soient succédés depuis la naissance de la photographie ils ne furent utilisés le plus souvent que par les amateurs et les photographes de mode ...
Saul Leiter will be presented by Howard Greenberg Gallery from September 18 – October 25, 2014. The exhibition represents the first solo show of the artist’s early black and white photography from the 1940s and 50s, and will focus on more than 40 images including many unique prints that have never before been exhibited.

New York –In 1959, in a small storefront on East 10th Street in New York City, a photographer named Larry Siegel opened a gallery dedicated exclusively to photography. The Image Gallery, open until 1962, showed the work of leading photographers including Rudy Burckhardt, Sid Grossman, Saul Leiter, Duane Michals, and Garry Winogrand, becoming one of the models for exhibiting photography as an art form. Howard Greenberg Gallery will present « The Image Gallery Redux: 1959-1962 » from January 9 – February 15, 2014. The exhibition will feature the work of 21 photographers whose work was shown at that legendary gallery. An opening reception will be held on January 9 from 6-8 p.m.

"What could be more natural, more ordinary than a color photograph? No one cared, of course, about the color picture in your wallet; it was the color photograph appearing on the wall of a gallery or art museum that caused the stir".

Du 24 octobre 2011 au 4 mars 2012, le Musée Historique Juif présente une exposition rétrospective du travail du photographe et peintre américain Saul Leiter (né en 1923). Après une longue période de silence, le travail de Leiter a récemment été redécouvert aux Etats-Unis et en Europe. C'est la première exposition de son travail aux Pays-Bas.
Saul Leiter est particulièrement célébré pour ses photographies picturales colorées de la vie des rues de New-York, qu'il produit entre 1948 et 1960. Parmi l'agitation de la ville, il captura la beauté de tous les jours des moments tranquilles. Il fût aussi capable de transformer des objets banals - un parapluie rouge dans une temp&ec...
Hyper Real – Art and America around 1970, the largest exhibition project to date in the 20-year history of the Ludwig Forum, forms a visual memorial to the American way of life. The exhibition combines 250 works from 100 artists, never before seen together and in this abundance in Germany. Dr. Brigitte Franzen and Anna Sophia Schultz have located photorealism around 1970, temporally, aesthetically, and socially, in the context of parallel artistic currents, such as Pop art, conceptual art, land art and the work of the “New Topographics.” Events such as the Vietnam War, the Civil Rights Movement and the Oil Crisis formed the historical context of the artistic debates in this period.
Almost concurrently with the photorealist artists, photographers also began to address the excessive visual worlds o...
The rediscovery of Saul Leiter’s work in recent years is clearly a major event in the history of photography. From being a fashion photographer known only to specialists, he has become a pioneer of «street
photography» in color.
In 2005 the publication of the book «Early Color» marked a decisive step in Leiter’s new recognition. The Howard Greenberg Gallery in New York also played a determining role by exhibiting his work and encouraging Leiter to work on his archives. In France the publication of a «Photo Poche» book drew much interest, as did the exhibitions at the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson and at the Galerie Camera Obscura n 2008.
And yet until now the attention has been on only one aspect of his work. With this exhibition we aim to show for the first time ...
L’oeuvre de Saul Leiter est incontestablement une redécouverte majeure de ces dernières années : de photographe de mode connu des spécialistes, son statut est passé à celui de précurseur d’une “street photography” en couleur marquant une nouvelle étape dans l’histoire de la photographie.
C’est la parution en 2005 du livre Early color qui a marqué un pas décisif dans cette reconnaissance. La galerie Howard Greenberg de New York a également eu un rôle déterminant en exposant Leiter et en l’encourageant à travailler sur ses archives. En France, son oeuvre a remporté l’adhésion d’un large public avec la publication d’un Photo-Poche et les expositions &a...
The lyricism and intensity of his vision come into fullest play in his eloquent handling of color unequaled by his contemporaries. Leiter's visual language of fragmentation, ambiguity, and contingency is evoked by these subtle, painterly images that stretched the boundaries of photography in the second half of the 20th century." .

Gallery f5.6, Munich in association with the Howard Greenberg Gallery, New York is pleased to anounce the first presentation of works by renowned 86 year-old Saul Leiter (born 1923, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) in Germany Saul Leiter is one of the true pioneers of colour and abstract photography.

Après le succès de la rétrospective consacrée par la fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson (Paris) à Saul Leiter en 2008, le musée Nicéphore Niépce propose de s’intéresser plus particulièrement au travail en couleur de ce photographe.
À la fin des années 1940, à une époque où en Europe seul le noir et blanc semble digne d’intérêt, l’américain Saul Leiter joue de la couleur pour capterles silhouettes anonymes des passants new-yorkais. L’originalité de ses cadrages, alliée à une maîtrise technique de la lumière et de la chromie, métamorphose la métropole en un univers flottant aux accents oniriques. À travers une quarantaine d&...
Galerie Camera Obscura is proud to show a selection of fifty color photographs by Saul Leiter (in cooperation with Howard Greenberg Gallery).
Saul Leiter was born in 1923 in Pittsburgh (USA). Son of a renowned rabbi, he was intended to follow in his footsteps, but he decided, to the despair of his father, to become a painter, and, in 1946, established himself in New York where he continues to live.
His friendship with Eugene Smith and the discovery of the works of Henry Cartier-Bresson lead him to begin photography.
In 1948, he started to take experimental color photographs in the streets of New York. This work, continued through the fifties, is undoubtedly a great masterpiece of photography, but remained confidential. During the sixties, Leiter entered a successful carrer of fashion photography, which certainly occul...
The international photographers in this exhibition undress the theatre of fashion and question the creation of perfect beauty. Fashion in the Mirror is an overview of their self-examination and a rare look behind-the-scenes of fashion photography from the 1950s to the present day.
Finding both comedy and poetry in the set-up of the studio, the exhibiting photographers turn their cameras on the processes and paraphernalia of the fashion shoot. Photographers become mirrored in their own work and, as viewpoints are inverted and gazes misdirected, cameras stare back out at us expectantly.
Revealing the fashion industry’s secrets and undermining its glamorous illusions, the photographers in this exhibition create work that exposes this world from within.

Faggionato Fine Arts is pleased to announce the first solo exhibition in the UK of the groundbreaking early colour work by the American photographer Saul Leiter, Early Colour 1948 - 1959. The exhibition is in association with the Howard Greenberg Gallery, NY, and focuses on his images of New York street scenes.
Born in Pittsburgh in 1923, it was in his teens that Leiter's interest in art began and in 1946 he abandoned studying theology and moved to New York, to pursue his interest in painting. He exhibited with Philip Guston and William de Kooning and it was through another abstract artist Richard Pousette- Dart that he was introduced to photography. This friendship and meeting W. Eugene Smith, coincided with the photography exhibitions he saw in New York at the time, all of which inspired his growing involvement with...
Saul Leiter a réalisé ses premières photographies au début des années 1940 dans les rues de New York. Ce travail fut montré au Musée d’Art Moderne de New York en 1953 et en 1957. Pendant 20 ans il continua d’arpenter les rues, et son travail fut redécouvert bien plus tard, au milieu des années 1990. Il est aujourd’hui unanimement célébré. La Fondation HCB est heureuse de présenter pour la première fois en France une rétrospective de son oeuvre couleur et noir et blanc. Saul Leiter n’était pourtant pas voué à devenir photographe. Né à Pittsburgh en 1923, fils d’un rabbin renommé, brillant étudiant en théologie à Cleveland, il d...
