Foto Colectania shows the work of Saul Leiter, the surprising precursor of color photography

Leiter combined photography and painting all his life, and continued painting daily until his death in November 2013 at age 89. But the camera became the medium through which he managed to capture and interpret the life of New York City in multi-layered compositions, as well as in intimate scenes, as nobody had done before.

Foto Colectania presents an exhibition that brings together a selection of photographic works from the famous German-American collection

. With more than a hundred images of great masters such as August Sander, Richard Avedon or Seydou Keïta and contemporary photographers like Samuel Fosso, Zhang Huan or Guy Tillim.

. The exhibition explains how photographers, through different cultures and historical periods, have used portraiture to explore the notion of gender or identity.

The exhibition 'Hands' investigates the meaning of gestural language in the 21st edition of the 'Marriages' cycle
