Description:
    We carried out VRI and Gunn z observations of the obscured globular
    cluster Liller 1. The cluster is so reddened (A_V_=~9.0) that it is
    at the detection limit in V. The RGB in I vs. (I-z) shows a strong
    curvature. Recalling that the nearly solar metallicity globular clusters
    NGC 6553 and NGC 6528 present similar blanketing effects only in the
    visible bandpasses, we conclude that Liller 1 is considerably more
    metal-rich than these clusters. The CMD comparison of Liller 1
    with the inner bulge field around it (located =~5deg from the nucleus),
    suggests that the cluster is as metallic as the most metallic fraction
    of this inner bulge population. Similarly deep I and z observations
    at =~0.5deg away from Liller 1, at the nominal position of Grindlay 1
    do not reveal any cluster.
