In 1980, the show ''Edward Hopper: The Art and the Artist'' opened at the [[Whitney Museum of American Art]] and toured to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Tate Gallery in London, the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.<ref>{{harvnb|Levin|1980}}</ref> It was the first major retrospective to present Hopper's oil paintings alongside his preparatory sketches and drawings.

In 2004, a large selection of Hopper's paintings toured Europe, visiting the [[Museum Ludwig]] in Cologne, Germany, and the [[Tate Modern]] in London. The Tate exhibition became the second most visited in the gallery’s history at the time, with more than 420,000 visitors.<ref>{{cite web |title=Edward Hopper at Tate Modern |url=https://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-modern/edward-hopper |website=Tate |access-date=April 3, 2025}}</ref>

In 2010, the [[Fondation de l'Hermitage]] in Lausanne, Switzerland, held an exhibition covering Hopper's entire career, with works drawn largely from the Whitney Museum in New York City. It included paintings, watercolors, etchings, cartoons, posters, and preparatory studies for selected paintings. The exhibition had previously been displayed in Milan and Rome.<ref>{{cite web |title=Edward Hopper |url=https://fondation-hermitage.ch/en/home/expositions/en-cours/ |website=Fondation de l'Hermitage |access-date=April 3, 2025}}</ref>

In 2012, a major exhibition opened at the [[Grand Palais]] in Paris. Divided into two parts, it covered Hopper's formative years (1900–1924), with comparisons to his contemporaries and French influences, and his mature style from 1925 onward, featuring works like ''House by the Railroad''.<ref>{{cite web |title=Edward Hopper |url=https://www.grandpalais.fr/en/event/edward-hopper |website=Grand Palais |access-date=April 3, 2025}}</ref>
