Leiter remembered at Foto Colectania

The Foto Colectania Foundation yesterday opened a new exhibition in Barcelona featuring a wide selection of images taken over six decades by US photographer Saul Leiter. Saul Leiter: In Search of Beauty is curated by Roger Szmulewicz.

Born into an orthodox Jewish family in Pittsburg in 1923, Saul Leiter had a long career that spanned 60 years, and included painting as well as photography (the exhibition has two of his cameras alongside brushes and paints), but in recent years the artist has fallen into obscurity, something the exhibition hopes to remedy.

The exhibition runs until October 21 and includes 70 of Leiter’s colour photographs, as well as another 44 black and white images.
