2010 exhibitions and sale[]
In 2010, several retrospective exhibitions were staged, at Oglethorpe University Museum of Art and in Montmartre(Paris) that culminated in an auction of 30 of Utrillo's works on 30 November 2010 from the collection of Paul Pétridès, Utrillo's art dealer, whose Galerie Pétridès also dealt with the likes of Jacques Thévenet. This follows the 2009 exhibition of Suzanne Valadon and Maurice Utrillo's works held in Paris in 2009.
