Saul Leiter took photos every day for 60 years in New York’s East Village, capturing daily life in the neighborhood where he lived for his entire adult life. Leiter was a postwar pioneer in color photography, and when he died, in 2013, he left behind at least 40,000 color slides, 15,000 black-and-white prints, and 40,000 black-and-white negatives (most of which have never been developed much less shown). Milton Keynes is now presenting the largest-ever U.K. exhibition of Leiter’s work. The show includes 171 photographs and over 40 of Leiter’s paintings. —Clara Molot
