Saul Leiter - Early Color (FIRST PRINTING) - 2006
Colour photography at it's best and already a classic of it's genre.
Immensely successful Early Color presented Leiter's remarkable body of colour work to the public for the first time in book form.
Here in the VERY SCARCE FIRST PRINTING (there were many later printings) and
in EXCELLENT FRESH CONDITION.
PLEASE ENJOY the newest edition of the more and more popular ONE-SELLER-PHOTOBOOK auctions
by Ecki Heuser (5Uhr30.com/Cologne/Germany) on "Catawiki".
Although Edward Steichen had exhibited some of Leiter's colour photography at the Museum of Modern Art in 1953, it remained virtually unknown to the world thereafter. Leiter moved to New York in 1946 to become a painter, yet through his friendship with Richard Pousette-Dart he quickly recognized the creative potential of photography. Leiter continued to paint, exhibiting with Philip Guston and Willem de Kooning, but the camera remained his ever-present means of recording life in the metropolis. None of Leiter's contemporaries, with the partial exception of Helen Levitt, assembled a comparable body of work: subtle, often abstract compositions of lyrical, eloquent colour.
