-Saul Leiter

Carefully selected from unpublished slides left in the studio
Simultaneous worldwide publication

It has been five years since the publication of his first photo book in Japan, "Everything About Saul Leiter."
This book presents a complete picture of Saul through three pillars: his professional fashion photography, his extremely private black-and-white nude photography, and street photography. However, it can be said that Saul's true forte is undoubtedly street photography.

Just before his death in 2013, Saul entrusted his works to Margit Erb, who had become a close friend in his later years as a gallerist. Margit then established the Saul Leiter Foundation with her husband Michael. Their biggest priority was the Slide Project, which involved digitizing the enormous number of color slides, numbering in the tens of thousands, that had been carelessly left behind in the studio. The slides were left exposed, and the contents of the boxes were different from those of the originals, making sorting extremely difficult, but with the support of the passion of the foundation staff and collaborators, after about 10 years, the project bore fruit in the publication of The Unseen Saul Leiter.

Following on from the comprehensive report "Saul Leiter: Everything," "The Unseen Saul Leiter" features previously unpublished "street photos," and includes a selection of works, as well as new facts discovered during the course of the project, essays that reveal the secrets of Saul's thinking and technique, and archival data.
In this large-format (A4 modified) book, you can enjoy Sole's ingenious use of color and composition, which transform everyday scenery into a "painting."

*This book will be translated and published simultaneously in six languages around the world.
