Saul Leiter: The Centennial Retrospective

Lovely photography book about one if the big names in the media. A great selection of his work and writing in his life. Highly recommended

If you know who Saul Leiter is, then, this retrospective will simply reinforce what an important photographer he is, yet hidden from view for a long period of his life. He was a part of the New York School, acknowledged as a documenter of the street in a style that was truely differentiated, a pioneer amongst pioneers. New photos are littered amongst his icons, his fashion work for Harpers Bazaar and Vogue, his personal studies, how his paintings and painterly work interact with his photographic eye & relationship with the other greats (artists and photographers). Fabulous stuff. If you don't know who Leiter is, are interested in photography, then this is your go to book to read and admire. Great quality printing, lovely presentation and some excellent essays on the man. Well done to Margit Erb/Michael Parillo (& SL Foundation) & to Thames and Hudson.... a classic monograph.

Yes, this book is rather expensive, but it is amazing. A big, heavy book going into greater depth on Saul Leiter than any book has before. It shows all his well-known works, and a lot of never-before-seen works. The text is very interesting as well, covering Saul's early life and much more. This is THE book on Saul Leiter: a must-have book for Saul completists, and an excellent introduction for those new to Saul Leiter.

I wanted to study Leiter's work but didn't want to pay full price.Amazon had this at a sufficient discount and it arrived as expected in good condition.An excellent book. If this is your interest recommended.

This is the best Leiter book I could find. A wide range of work spanning his career is reproduced beautifully.

Stunning book, beautifully curated and nicely printed. Saul was a master and this book brings a lot of inspiration.

Great book!
