Alberto Burri exhibited widely throughout his art career. His first solo exhibition was held at the Galleria La Margherita in Rome, 1947. His first solo exhibitions in the United States took place in 1953 at the Stable Gallery, New York and the Allan Frumkin Gallery, Chicago. His work also appeared in Younger European Painters: A Selection (1953—54) at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in 1953. Burri was included in more than 70 exhibitions in the U.S. between 1953 and 1963, a period where he received much international acclaim.
In 2015, the first major retrospective of Burri’s work in 40 years, entitled The Trauma of Painting, was held at the Guggenheim Museum in New York.
