In 1911, Juan Bay participated in a futurist exhibition in the Umanitaria in Milan. Between 1925 and 1929, upon his return to Argentina, he returned to teaching. Bay resumed his artistic activity in Milan and exhibited in the Bardi, Polígono, Casa d'Artisti, Il Milione and Mascioni galleries, among others. He participated with Italian non-figurative artists in the Brera exhibition held in 1938 and in the Moody Gallery exhibition in Buenos Aires in 1936. In 1942 he exhibited in the Mascioni Gallery with the non-figurative group of Como. With the Futurists, Juan Bay participated in the Venice Biennale and the Rome Quadrennial. In 1949, the artist returned to Buenos Aires and exhibited his work in the Van Riel, La Máscara and Antú galleries. In 1951, an important exhibition of the collection of Ugo Bernasconi was held, which included two non-figurative oils by the painter. Juan Bay joined the Madí group in 1952, participating in the group's 1955 exhibitions at the Krayd Gallery in Buenos Aires and at the Numero Gallery in Florence. He exhibited again at the Bonino Gallery and the Van Riel Gallery in Buenos Aires in 1956 and 1957. In Paris, his work was included in "Art Madí International", an Argentine group organized at the Denise René Gallery in 1958. Bay participated in the International Exhibition of the Museum of Modern Art in Buenos Aires in November 1960. In 1976 he participated in the exhibition "Homage to the Argentine avant-garde of the 1940s", held in the Arte Nuevo Gallery. His work is included in the collections of important European museums. In 1978, the year he died, a retrospective exhibition of his work was held at the Galerie de la Salle in Saint Paul de Vence (France).

Artists on display
The art and the artists display: proclamations, galleries, museums, personal or collective exhibitions. On walls or in shop windows, wise or rebels, posters warn, argue, show. Some were specially conceived by an artist for such or such event, other, colder, have only the letter.
Some were created in lithographic technic, most are simple offset reproductions. They are many those who like collecting these rectangles of paper, monochrome or in games of colours, in matt paper or brilliant, with many words or almost dumb.
We are happy also to be able to greet, by this pages, mythical galleries as those of Denise René, Louis Carré, Claude Bernard, Berheim Jeune, Maeght, Pierre Loeb and others.
