About An-My Lê

As a teenager Lê fled Vietnam with her family in 1975. They eventually settled in the United States as political refugees. Her work often addresses the impact of war on culture and on the environment. Lê says her "main goal is to try to photograph landscape in such a way that it suggests a universal history, a personal history, a history of culture." 
Solo exhibitions of Lê's work have been presented at the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh, PA (2020), Milwaukee Art Museum, WI (2020), Amon Carter Museum, Fort Worth, TX (2020), Sheldon Art Museum, Lincoln, NE (2017); Hasselblad Foundation, Gothenburg, Sweden (2015); Baltimore Museum of Art, MD (2013); Dia: Beacon, NY (2008); San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, CA (2008); and MoMA PS1, Long Island City, NY (2002).

Her work has also been included in the Whitney Biennial, Whitney Museum of American Art, NY (2017) and the Taipei Biennial (2014 and 2006).
