Saul Leiter: Homage
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鈥檚, 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.
