Two fine art photographers won the 2012 MacArthur Fellowship Grant: Uta Barth, An-My Le, photographer. As far as I can tell, its the first time two photographers were awarded the fellowship in the same year. Each winner each get $500,000 over the next five years, and are among the 23 Fellows for 2012.
Uta. Barth’s suggestive out-of-focus images are very different from the Düsseldorf photographers, such as Thomas Struth. The 54-year-old artist shows with Tanya Bonakdar Gallery.
An-My Lê was born inSaigon,Vietnam, and received an MFA fromYaleUniversityin 1993 (a few years after I). Her photographs examine Vietnam War reenactiments. Congratulations to them both.
