Cliff Holden, Lundquist enjoyed holding a retrospective every ten years or so at the Stockholm Academy of Art. The retrospective in 1957 generated a level of admiration that had "not been seen even in Sweden for a long time." In the late 1950s and early 1960s he participated in exhibitions in Paris, London and Milan. Lundquist was chosen to represent Sweden at the IV Bienal do Museu de Arte Moderna in São Paulo, Brazil in 1957. Artworks that were selected for inclusion, including works by Lundquist, were destroyed by fire aboard the transport ship carrying them. The catalog for the Bienal, with a forward to Lundquist's works written by Dr. Hugo Zuhr, list five works by Lundquist; A Arvore (1949), O Passaro (1956), Criança Comendo (1957), Nos Campos (1957) and Corpo De Boi (1957). While Cliff Holden states that all of Lundquist's works for the Bienal were lost in this fire, some contemporary literature states the loss of only three paintings. The Tate Gallery, in 1958, acquired Lundquist's painting Woman in Red. With this acquisition, Lundquist became one of only two Swedish artists then held in the collection, the other being Edvard Munch. Lundquist was awarded the Prince Eugen Medal for painting in 1961. The Renaissance Society of Chicago hosts a Lundquist Exhibition from 13 to 31 May 1961. The Museum of Modern Art's Committee on the Museum's Collections (serving at the request of MOMA's Chairman James Thrall Soby) voted to acquire and to add Lundquist's Pottery Number Nine, oil on canvas, to its collection in 1961. In 1964, Lundquist was presented the Guggenheim Award. During the same year he served as the representative for Sweden at the Venice Biennale in 1964. Lundquist's artwork was presented in exhibitions at the Dunn International. The Tate Gallery included Lundquist in their 1964 exhibition "54-64, Paintings & Sculpture of a Decade". In 1974, a Lundquist retrospective was held at Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Sweden. In 1980, Lundquist exhibited with fellow artist (and spouse) Ebba Reutercrona. In 2010 the Moderna Museet, with curator Fredrik Liew, launched an exhibition of Lundquist's works. This innovative and far-reaching exhibit sought to remove the constrictions of previously held interpretations, not only of Lundquist's work, but of Lundquist himself.
