Leiter Shows Open at Leica Galleries in Tokyo and Kyoto
Two new Saul Leiter exhibitions were recently launched in Japan, at Leica Gallery Tokyo and Leica Gallery Kyoto.
The presentation in Tokyo (December 6, 2019, through March 1, 2020) is titled Lanesville and features Leiter’s famous 1958 color nude photograph by that name, along with eight of its variants and a selection of fashion work from the same period, when Leiter’s commercial career was gaining steam.
The Kyoto show, Saul Leiter: Nude (December 7, 2019, through March 5, 2020), includes black-and-white photographs and a series of Leiter’s colorful hand-painted prints.
