René Magritte exhibited regularly during his lifetime, although only gained widespread popularity in his later years. He had his first solo show in the United States at the Julien Levy Gallery in New York, 1936, and in England at the London Gallery in 1938, both of which helped launch his international profile. Prominent retrospective exhibitions have been held at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in 1965, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in 1967, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1992 and 2013.
Today, Magritte’s works are held in collections around the world, including MoMA, New York; the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; The Magritte Museum, Brussels; and the Tate Gallery, London.
