In 1959 he exhibited at the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles and was represented at the first Paris Biennale. In 1960 he exhibited an illustration from the Encyclopédie Clartés at the Salon Comparaisons (he was known as "Raymond the Abstract") and travelled to Italy. In 1961 he was represented at the exhibition Bewogen Beweging, Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, also shown at Stockholm and Humblebaek, and at at The Art of Assemblage, Museum of Modern Art, New York, later shown at Dallas and San Francisco. He distanced himself from "Nouveau Réalisme" in 1963. In 1964 he was represented at the Venice Biennale. His torn posters were shown at the Galleria Apollinaire, Milan, in 1965.
