Exhibitions


	Francis at Galerie Nina Dausset, Paris, 1952

Listed here, in chronological order, are the known exhibitions that feature artworks. Each entry shows the venue, location, dates, and traveling venue locations. If the exhibition has a catalogue it is mentioned with a link to the catalogue entry in the Literature References. Artworks exhibited are listed with any confirmed page number, plate or figure references, and checklist information.

When permission has been granted we have provided links to PDF documents of the exhibition catalogue. These may be broken into several parts (Part 1, Part 2, etc.) as file size limitations dictate. When available we have also linked external sources for further information or full references. A new web browsing window will open when an external link is selected.

There are three labeled tabs within exhibition entries.

• Works: Thumbnail view of artworks shown during the referenced exhibition.

• Related records: Entries within the catalogue raisonné that are directly linked to this exhibition (i.e., articles and reviews).

• Archival material: All additional material related to the exhibition, such as installation photographs, checklist information, artist records, or other correspondence.
