Paintings and Rare Cibachrome Prints on View in Antwerp

Saul Leiter: Cibachromes and Paintings opens at Gallery FIFTY ONE in Antwerp, Belgium, on September 5, 2026, and runs through October 31. “The Cibachromes on view, which are among Leiter’s earliest colour prints, made directly from his original transparencies, reveal the richness of the artist’s vision,” the gallery writes. “The process, known for its density and saturation, gives the prints a depth and tonal subtlety that bring them close to painting: objects with a material presence of their own.

“Alongside the Cibachromes, a group of paintings, works on paper made primarily with gouache and watercolor, offer a closer view of Leiter’s creative process. Made throughout his life, often in private and largely unseen during his lifetime, they show an artist engaged with abstraction, gesture and colour. Influenced by Japanese woodblock prints, Bonnard and Vuillard, Leiter treated painting not as a separate discipline but as another way of seeing.”
