Timeline

1956

Kenneth Robert Lum, OC DFA (born 1956) is a dual citizen Canadian and American academic, curator, editor, painter, photographer, sculptor, and writer.

1980

One of his earliest major projects was his Portrait-Logo series from the mid-1980s, in which he paired portraits with logos, names, or descriptive text.
