About An-My Lê

About An-My Lê

Charles Franklin Kellogg and Grace E. Ramsey Kellogg Professor

An-My Lê was born in Saigon, Vietnam. She currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. She was educated at Stanford University and at Yale University and has been the recipient of numerous awards including the MacArthur Foundation Fellowship (2012); the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award (2009); and the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship (1997). Lê is currently the Charles Franklin Kellogg and Grace E. Ramsey Kellogg Professor in the Arts at Bard College, New York.

"Classes don't begin and end with photography. The richness comes from the students' personal backgrounds and the atmosphere of critical thinking at Bard."

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). She has been included in numerous international group shows including at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, MN (2019); Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY (2017); the Museum of Modern Art, NY (2016); the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo, Japan, and the National Museum of Art, Osaka, Japan (2015); Tate Modern, London (2014); Brooklyn Museum (2012); and the Guggenheim Museum, NY (2010) amongst others.
