Leiter Show Opens at Tokyo’s Bunkamura Museum

Photographer Saul Leiter: A Retrospective is now up and running at the Bunkamura Museum of Art in Tokyo.

The expansive exhibition features more than 200 works, including paintings, painted nudes, and ephemera such as Leiter’s cameras and personal correspondence, in addition to classic and previously unseen photographs.

The new book All About Saul Leiter, from Seigensha Art Publishing, was released to coincide with the show. During the opening weekend (April 29-30), Saul Leiter Foundation director Margit Erb and exhibition curator Pauline Vermare gave talks on the artist’s life and work, and Tomas Leach’s Leiter documentary, In No Great Hurry, was screened at Bunkamura’s Le Cinéma. The show closes on June 25.
