In the summer of 2002, the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City had an exhibit of 30 of these paintings curated by Lowery Sims, director of the Studio Museum in Harlem. In 1988 Brown became the first Western artist to have a solo show at the National Museum of the Chinese Revolution in Beijing. He is an artist in residence at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City, MO.
