Suzanne Lecht, the founder of Art Vietnam Gallery, is celebrating her 20th year working in Vietnam’s contemporary art scene with the opening of her third gallery space in Hanoi. Here are our top twenty that make her and her life so far in Hanoi more than remarkable
1. Suzanne got on a plane and changed her life plans after reading an article about the Gang of Five. Finding in the grey fog and dark days of Hanoi in January 1994 a city that surpassed her melancholy of life alone after her husband’s death. And embracing that truth rather than being driven away.
