Holmead-Exhibition, Gallery Bernheim-Jeune, Paris 1929.

| ... The success of the New York exhibition enhanced in the Paris exhibition at Bernheim-Jeune in November 1927 on an almost spectacular way... ...As a few months later, in February 1928, the Montross Gallery has presented the next Holmead exhibition, the New York art magazine „Art News" was exaggerating with the announcement: " A Phillips exhibition has become almost a yearly event, every season growing interest... ...And Holmeads series of successes continues: The academies and museums have become aware of him and invited him to their annual exhibitions.
