A trove of newly discovered color photos in 'The Unseen Saul Leiter'

Featured spreads are from The Unseen Saul Leiter—new this week from D.A.P. The product of the Saul Leiter Foundation's recent full-scale survey of the 80,000+ works left behind in the photographer's East Village studio at the time of his death, this superb 160-page gem selects 76 of the most evocative, poetic images from approximately 10,000 slides that have never before been published or seen by the public. "I have spent much of my life bearing witness to Saul Leiter bearing witness," SLF founder and director Margit Erb writes. "I have looked through his camera eye. I have peered over his shoulder while he photographed and edited. And lucky for me, I have walked by his side on many journeys in the final years of his life. His images are so vividly set in my mind that I feel as if I have experienced the very moments they depict. Saul and I were close friends for over eighteen years, and his images have been orbiting around me for much longer than that. I am still endlessly surprised by his audacity, and that is precisely why I love him more than ever."
