Ms. Cooper has exhibited extensively both in the United State and abroad. In 2007 she had a retrospective at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Cleveland. The museum devoted the entire museum to her work and published a 122-page color catalogue with an essay by senior curator Margo A.

Ms. Cooper has been the recipient of numerous awards. Most recently Americans for the Arts cited her 2008 permanent Percent for Art Project “Out of the Corner of My Eye” as one of the best public art projects for 2009. She has also been the recipient of a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant (2008), the Prix de Rome (2003-04), a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship (2000) and a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship (2000).
