Mayer was the subject of a solo show at Southfirst Gallery in Brooklyn, New York — the first major presentation of her work in thirty years — which was reviewed in Artforum, The New Yorker, and The New York Times. The show was curated by art historian Maika Pollack, the gallery's founder, with Marie Warsh and Max Warsh—Mayer's niece and nephew. The exhibition included a presentation by art historian Gillian Sneed. The show travelled to the University of Georgia's Lamar Dodd School of Art in fall of 2017. An accompanying exhibition catalog titled, "Rosemary Mayer Beware All Definitions Selected Works 1966-1973" was published by the Lamar Dodd School of Art.
