Forever Saul Leiter Marks a Return to Tokyo’s Bunkamura Museum
On January 9, 2020, Saul Leiter returns to the Bunkamura Museum of Art in Tokyo with an expansive new show, just under three years after the museum hosted his first retrospective in Japan.
Forever Saul Leiter includes a newly curated selection of color and black-and-white photography, paintings, and ephemera, much of it being displayed for the first time. An inside look at the Saul Leiter Foundation is highlighted by a room displaying projections of recently unearthed color work from Leiter’s slide archive, part of a research project begun in 2018.
The exhibition runs until March 8, 2020, and an accompanying book, also titled Forever Saul Leiter, is being released by Shogakukan to coincide with the opening.
