(3.14 x 4.72") Howard Greenberg Collection
"I have the first print of one of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s greatest
pictures ever, and it’s a wonderful little print on beautiful paper, and
went through the hands of Edward Steichen. How much more could you
want?" – Howard Greenberg, read more: L'Oeil de la Photographie
Boy, 1950 by Saul Leiter. Howard Greenberg Collection
"There are millions of pictures of people looking out windows. Leon
Levinstein did so many great ones and other people did great
ones. There’s something about that picture and the print. For me, it’s
got this haunting quality and it’s very Saul in its sensitivity"

"Masterpieces from the Howard Greenberg Collection," photographs from the private collection of Howard Greenberg, owner of New York’s Howard Greenberg Gallery, one of the most prestigious photography galleries in the world, are on exhibition at the Joods Historisch Museum / Jewish Historical Museum, Amsterdam.
Greenberg has been a leader in the modern photography market,
establishing himself early on as one of the pillars of the New York
photography scene for over three decades.
This extraordinary exhibition originated at the Musée de l’Elysée Photography Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland to critical acclaim. It was followed with great success at the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation in Paris (jointly produced by both) and then traveled to the Hungarian House of Photography in the Mai Manó House in Budapest, bringing us up to the current show at the Jewish Historical Museum in Amsterdam until January 11, 2015.

Wow what a phenomenal interview and peak into the mind if a photo Gallerist. Thank you! Great story about HCB.
Very nice interview, as well as his wonderful, wonderful photographs.
I LOVE the interview. It shows his passion and why his gallery is so successful. An example is when you ask him: "How many images do you think are in your PERSONAL collection?"
His answer: "I still don’t quite believe it – something close to 500."
I am going to Amsterdam soon to see and I can't wait:)))))))))))
