Faurschou opened by impressively holding a solo exhibit for National Medal of Arts winner Robert Rauschenberg, whose surprising combinations of unusual objects with painting and prints have been studied by art students around the world. Household name artists such as Andy Warhol and Picasso have also been exhibited at Faurschou creating undeniable pull.

One particular highlight of Faurschou Foundation was an exhibition for video artist Tony Oursler. His projections onto spheres, dolls and sculptural shapes induced viewers to laugh, scratch their heads, and even squirm with discomfort. It was a curatorial success to see the gallery transformed into a dreamscape plotted with never before seen curiosities.

Although international art is Faurschou's focus, it also proudly showcases some of the best Chinese art. Artists such as Liu Wei have both recently had works shown. Liu's large model of Tibet's Potala Palace, was also a notable piece. Made up of ox hides stitched together and suspended from the ceiling, it was both a technical feat and a curious work of beauty.
