The paintings of John Blee have been exhibited in New York (at the Andre Emmerich Gallery), in Boston, and Washington, DC. Outside of the US his work has been shown in New Delhi and Moscow, and he will have a show in Paris in 2008 at Jane Roberts Fine Art. His work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art as well as the Museum of Modern Art in Yerevan, Armenia.
