This volume contains works discovered through this project―specifically, color photography from slides never before published or seen by the public. His studio in the East Village, where he lived from 1952 until his death in 2013, is now the home of the Saul Leiter Foundation, which has commenced a full-scale survey of his more than 80,000 works.
