His work has been exhibited at La Kunsthalle, Mulhouse; La Biennale di Venezia; City Museum, Ljubljana; Espace Niemeyer – Siège du Parti communiste français, Paris; de Warande, Turnhout; Muzeul de Artă, Timişoara; Mogoșoaia Palace, Mogoșoaia; Johnen Galerie, Berlin; Constructivist Biennial, Nürnberg (1969); Sonja Henje Gallery, Oslo; Sala Kalinderu, Bucharest; Triennial of Decorative Arts, Milan; Richard Demarco Gallery, Edinburgh; and others.
