In 1966 Marie Cosindas had a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York of her color photographs, which travelled to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and to the Art Institute of Chicago the following year. The exhibitions brought her considerable recognition, and her work was published throughout the 1960s and 1970s in a diverse range of magazines, from Camera and Aperture to Ladies' Home Journal and Newsweek. Life featured her work four times between 1968 and 1976. In the 1980s, however, her fame subsided and today her work is often overlooked.
