Press Release

‘It’s eerie to see how some of the issues that unfolded when I started ‘Silent General’ are now back at the forefront in an even more urgent way.History doesn’t move through time in a straight line.’

—An-My Lê

An-My Lê’s expansive Silent General project (2015– ) documents a symbolically charged strand of recent history in the United States. The work was prompted by the June 2015 mass church shooting in Charleston, South Carolina. Concerned with extending reflection beyond the breaking-news cycle, Lê embarked upon an extended road trip to document the complexity of representing history.

Lê’s work is the subject of a wide ranging exhibition which runs at the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh until 18 January 2021 and then tours to three further venues.

About the Gallery

For over forty years, Marian Goodman Gallery has played an important role in helping to establish a vital dialogue among artists and institutions working internationally. Marian Goodman Gallery was founded in New York City in late 1977. In 1995 the Gallery expanded to include an exhibition space in Paris – with an additional exhibition space and bookshop added in 2016 - and in 2014 an exhibition space in London. The London space transitioned to Marian Goodman Projects in 2021, a new initiative to present exhibitions and artist projects in London and other select cities around the world.
