In 1997 a retrospective exhibition, Transformation: The Art of Joan Brown was jointly assembled by the Berkeley art Museum and the Oakland Museum, producing a comprehensive catalog of her work. Karen Tsujimoto, exhibition curator, wrote of Brown’s use of models:

“Dressing them up – and sometimes down - in jauntily patterned clothes and often situating them in fanciful scenarios with animals like aardvarks and rats, brown created her own grown-up versions of paper dolls to suit her whimsical fantasies….”

Paintings by Joan Brown will be featured in the inaugural presentation of the new De Young Museum’s permanent collection. Her works are represented in many public collections, including the MoMA and Whitney Museum in New York, The San Francisco MoMA and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
