New Book Documents Saul Leiter’s Atelier and Collection of Objects

Saul Leiter: In Stillness, a new release from Libro Arte in Japan, presents Yumiko Izu’s photographs of Leiter’s living and working spaces in New York City’s East Village.

Izu began capturing the images just a few weeks after Leiter passed away in 2013, and completed the project in late 2019.

“[Izu] has skillfully and meticulously drawn the portrait of the artist in the way a biographer would have with words,” Magnum New York cultural director Pauline Vermare writes in her essay.

The book, released in May 2020, also contains an essay by Saul Leiter Foundation director Margit Erb.
