CHAKAIA BOOKER (1953 - )
Untitled (CB.1.21).

Lithograph with chine-collé on embossed, handmade paper, 2021. 533x355 mm; 21x14 inches, full margins. Signed and numbered 47/100 in pencil, lower margin. Printed by the artist with master printer Justin Sanz at Robert Blackburn's Printmaking Workshop, New York. Published by Flint Institute of Arts, MI.

In this recent series, Chakaia Booker layers thin hand-painted paper to create an organic mass of swirling and energetic lines in muted tones adhered together through the process of chine collé.

Booker, born in Newark, NJ, has an undergraduate degree in sociology from Rutgers University, 1976, and an MFA from CUNY - The City College of New York, 1993. Solo museum exhibitions have been held at the Katonah Museum of Art, the University of Missouri, and the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington, D.C., in 2007.

Her sculptures are found today in such collections as the Bronx Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Neuberger Museum of Art, the Queens Museum of Art, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, Washington, DC, and the Studio Museum in Harlem.
