[1] On June 27, 2024, Kee was appointed as Judy and Michael Steinhard Director of New York University's Institute of Fine Arts, a position she will assume on August 19, 2024.
Kee also obtained a JD from Harvard Law School and a BA from Yale College, where she graduated magna cum laude.
[3] Her first book, Contemporary Korean Art: Tansaekhwa and the Urgency of Method, published by University of Minnesota Press in 2013, is credited[4][5] with sparking global interest[6] in Dansaekhwa, a major constellation of abstract paintings produced in South Korea from the 1960s.
[9] Kee's latest book – The Geometries of Afro Asia: Art beyond Solidarity, published April 2023 – presents a framework for understanding the rich and surprisingly understudied relationship between Black and Asian artists and the worlds they initiate through their work.
Her previous book, Models of Integrity Art and Law in Post-Sixties America, includes discussion of the following artists, among others; Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Gordon Matta-Clark, Tehching Hsieh, Felix Gonzalez-Torres and Sally Mann.
