Best known for her black-and-white photographs of the city, Levitt began working in color in the late 1950s, documenting the gestures, encounters, and everyday theater unfolding across New York’s streets and neighborhoods.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOriginally presented as a continuous slide projection, these photographs marked an important development in Levitt’s practice. Working intuitively and largely unnoticed, she captured children at play, figures framed by doorways and storefronts, and fleeting interactions between strangers. Color becomes an integral part of the compositions, drawing attention to clothing, painted facades, signage, and incidental details while retaining the spontaneity and ambiguity that define her earlier work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSlide Show\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e presents this body of work as a vivid record of the city and its inhabitants, revealing Levitt’s ability to find moments of humor, tension, intimacy, and visual order within ordinary life.
