Beckman has published four books: “Made in the UK, Music of Attitude 1977-1982,” “The Breaks Stylin’ and Profilin’ 1982-1990,” “El Hoyo Maravilla” and, in 2018, her hip-hop photography book The MashUp, reinterpreted by legendary graffiti artists.

Her work has been exhibited in galleries around the world and is in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, the Museum of the City of New York, the Museum of European Civilizations in Marseille, and the Nakamura Keith Haring Collection in Tokyo.
