Saul and Fay in The New Yorker

In the Talk of the Town column in The New Yorker’s April 3, 2017, issue, Rebecca Mead chats at Howard Greenberg Gallery with Fay Ennis, the subject of Saul Leiter’s famous late-’40s “Fay Smoking” photograph.

“We were completely Platonic,” Ennis, who’s now a spry 92, says in the piece, titled “Treasuring Saul Leiter’s Moody Black-and-White Photographs.” (It’s called “Cool Mom” in the print version of the magazine.) “I was never his muse.”
