She has been exhibited internationally since the 1960s, most recently in the major retrospective Liliane Lijn: Arise Alive at the Haus der Kunst, Munich, touring to mumok, Vienna and Tate St. Ives. Born in New York, Lijn subsequently lived in Lugano, Paris, New York and Athens before finally settling in London in 1967.
