Chakaia Nadine Booker

Chakaia Booker is an American sculptor born in 1953 in Newark, New Jersey. She is known for creating monumental, abstract works for both the gallery and outdoor public spaces. Booker’s works are contained in more than 40 public collections and have been exhibited across the United States, Europe, Africa, and Asia. She was included in the 2000 Whitney Biennial, received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2005, and an American Academy of Arts and Letters Award for Art in 2001. Booker has lived and worked in New York City’s East Village since the early 1980s and maintains a production studio in Allentown, Pennsylvania. She is best known for her innovative and signature use of recycled rubber tires, her primary sculptural material. Booker has also consistently used stainless steel and fabric to create sculptural works. In 2009, she began an in-depth exploration of printmaking, creating a significant body of graphic works. Booker’s approach to printmaking processes is reminiscent of her modular working methods in sculpture. Printmaking has become a regular part of Booker’s artistic output, and as with her use of rubber, she has invented unique ways of manipulating materials and process.
