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. This volume contains works discovered through this process, specifically colour slides, never before published or seen by the public. American artist Saul Leiter (19232013) was delighted with painting and photography as a teenager in Pittsburgh. We thank the Saul Leiter Foundation for allowing us to publish these images in CAPTION Magazine.

The recently published book The Unseen Saul Leiterrescues material never seen before. 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. Unseen Saul Leiter German Edition 76 newly discovered works from Saul Leiter's abundant archive of color slides Now widely acclaimed as one of the world's greatest photographers and pioneer of color photography, Saul Leiter (19232013) remained relatively unsung until he was rediscovered by curators and critics in his early 80s, and his work. The publication in 2006 of his first monograph, Early Color, inspired an avid ‘rediscovery’ of Leiter’s work by contemporary audiences. 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. Saul Leiter was born in Pittsburgh and moved to New York City in 1946. His complex and impressionistic photographs are as much about evoking an atmosphere as nailing the decisive moment. 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. 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.
