Nama's work is held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Brooklyn Museum, Morgan Library, Boston Athenaeum, Delaware Art Museum, and Carnegie Institute. He trained at Carnegie Mellon University and worked at the legendary Atelier 17 in Paris alongside figures in the orbit of Pollock, Picasso, Chagall, and Calder. He was elected to the National Academy of Design in 1981. He passed away in October 2025 — his market is actively gaining attention.
