Franz Joseph and Hans van der Grinten organized Beuys's first solo show at their house in Kranenburg in 1953. The Alfred Schmela Galerie was the first commercial gallery to hold a Beuys solo exhibition in 1965. Beuys participated for the first time in documenta in Kassel in 1964. In 1969, he was included in [[Harald Szeemann]]'s groundbreaking exhibition ''When Attitudes Become Form'' at the [[Kunsthalle Bern]].

The 1970s were marked by numerous major exhibitions throughout Europe and the United States. In 1970, a large collection of Beuys's work formed under the artist's own aegis, the Ströher Collection, was installed in the [[Hessisches Landesmuseum]] in Darmstadt, which remains the most important public collection of his work. [[Pontus Hultén]] invited him to exhibit at [[Moderna Museet]] in 1971. Beuys exhibited and performed at each documenta Kassel, most notably with ''The Honeypump at the FIU Workplace'' in 1977 and with ''7,000 Oaks'' in 1982. He showed four times at the Edinburgh International Festival and represented Germany at the [[Venice Biennale]] in 1976 and 1980. In 1980, Beuys took part in a meeting with [[Alberto Burri]] at the [[Rocca Paolina]] in [[Perugia]], curated by [[Italo Tomassoni]]. During his performance, Beuys explained ''Opera Unica'': six blackboards then purchased by the municipality of Perugia and now housed in the Museo civico di [[Palazzo della Penna]] in [[Perugia]]. A retrospective of his work was held at the [[Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum]], New York, in 1979. In 1984, Beuys visited Japan and showed various works, including installations and performances, while also holding discussions with students and giving lectures. His first Beuys exhibition took place at the [[Seibu Museum of Art]] in Tokyo that same year. The DIA Art Foundation held exhibitions of Beuys's work in 1987, 1992, and 1998, and has planted trees and basalt columns in New York City as part of his ''7,000 Oaks'', echoing his planting of 7,000 oaks each with a basalt stone, a project begun in 1982 for Documenta 7 in Kassel, Germany.  Large collections of his multiples are held by Harvard University, the Walker Art Center Minneapolis, and the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, which also has a collection of Beuys vitrines, The Schellmann and D'Offey collections. Most of the Marx collection of Beuys works including ''The secret Block for a Secret Person in Ireland'' drawings is at The Hamburger Bahnhof Museum, Berlin. Major art museums in Germany have Beuys works including Fond III at Landesmuseum Darmstadt, while Moechengladbach Museum has the Poor House Doors and much more. Beuys also gave a large collection to the Solidarinosc Movement in Poland. Feuerstätte I und Feuerstätte II (Hearth I and Hearth II) and other works are at the Museum for Contemporary Art Basel, and a dedicated museum was created for 'The Museum des Geldes' collection mainly of FIU blackboards from Documenta 6. As well, perennial Beuys exhibitions continue to take place around the world.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.diaart.org/exhibitions/artistbio/77|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101122133836/http://diaart.org/exhibitions/artistbio/77|url-status=dead|title=Joseph Beuys – Artist Biography|archive-date=22 November 2010}}</ref>
