Current exhibition
Through the Eyes of Saul Leiter
May 22 – August 26, 2026
The Leica Gallery Frankfurt presents a retrospective of the legendary photographer Saul Leiter (1923–2013). The exhibition “Through the Eyes of Saul Leiter” offers a unique insight into the life and work of one of the most impressive photographers of the 20th century. From May 22 to August 26, 2026, the gallery will present a carefully curated selection of Leiter’s iconic images as well as lesser-known works that reflect his distinctive artistic vision. Leiter revolutionized the world of photography with his unique perspective and his ability to transform everyday life into delicate, poetic images. Yet he remained modest about his place in the history of photography: “Maybe I am a pioneer, maybe I’m not. I don’t mind one way or the other.”
Leiter, who was already living in New York in the 1940s, developed an extraordinary ability to capture the cityscape in all its melancholy, hustle, and intimacy. The exhibition focuses both on his iconic color works, for which he has gone down in photographic history, and on his atmospheric black-and-white photographs, among which there are still hidden treasures to be discovered.
