An-My Lê Photographs in New York Times Op-Ed: “The Price”
An-My Lê, Charles Franklin Kellogg and Grace E. Ramsey Kellogg Professor in the Arts.
Professor An-My Lê’s photographs are featured in the New York Times Opinion piece “The Price,” which is part of the Times series “On the Brink” about the modern threat of nuclear weapons. “The Price” covers the United States’ $1.7 trillion overhaul of its nuclear arsenal and its impact on American communities. Lê’s photographs show the infrastructure of the US military, including the inside of nuclear facilities and the people working inside them. They illustrate the tension that writer W. J. Hennigan describes: “Congress decided that America needed new weapons… but it’s clear, after I visited these places, that the American people have not.”
Lê is a professor of photography whose work has covered war’s impact on culture and the environment for over 30 years. Her past projects have been exhibited in solo shows at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, the Baltimore Museum of Art, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, among many others.
