Following Vantongerloo’s death in 1965, Dr Angela Thomas Schmid, Max Bill’s widow, established the Max Bill Georges Vantongerloo Stiftung to represent the estates of the two artists. Since 2019, Georges Vantongerloo’s estate has been represented by Hauser & Wirth.
Vantongerloo presented in solo and group exhibitions internationally during his lifetime. He was included in the group exhibition Cubism and Abstract Art (1936) at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and in 1943 he presented his first major solo exhibition at Galerie de Berri in Paris. Further solo exhibitions were shown at Galerie Suzanne Bollag, Zurich (1961, 1966); Marlborough Fine Art, London (1962); Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Buenos Aires (1965); Los Angeles County Museum of Art (1980); Dallas Museum of Art (1980); Kunsthaus Zurich (1981); and Josef Albers Museum, Bottrop (1986); among others.
Since his death, Vantongerloo’s practice has been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions and retrospectives throughout Europe, the U.K., the U.S.A., and South America.
