First color images were included in a show at the MOMA in 1957 purely as a slide projection under the heading „Experimental Photography in Color“. Saul Leiter showed his first photographs, then in black and white at the Moma in 1953. It is still considered now that William Eggelston’s legendary colour show at the MOMA in 1979 was groundbreaking for the acceptance of colour photography. Gallery f5.6, Munich in association with the Howard Greenberg Gallery, New York is pleased to anounce the first presentation of works by renowned 86 year-old Saul Leiter (born 1923, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) in Germany Saul Leiter is one of the true pioneers of colour and abstract photography. Leiter's visual language of fragmentation, ambiguity, and contingency is evoked by these subtle, painterly images that stretched the boundaries of photography in the second half of the 20th century.". The lyricism and intensity of his vision come into fullest play in his eloquent handling of color unequaled by his contemporaries.
