A major retrospective of his work was held at the Museum of Contemporary Art in [[Lyon]] ([[France]]) in 2015.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Erro in Museum of Lyon|url=http://www.mac-lyon.com/mac/sections/fr/expositions/2014/erro/|access-date=2020-06-03|archive-date=2020-06-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200603193636/http://www.mac-lyon.com/mac/sections/fr/expositions/2014/erro/|url-status=live}}</ref>
