Premiered in 2009 to launch Lindberg's residency with the New York Philharmonic as well as Alan Gilbert's tenure as Music Director. The title puns on the ideas of exposition and exhibition as in Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition.

Originally scored for clarinet, cello and piano, this version was adapted by Lindberg for violin, cello and piano. Note that the piano and cello parts are not interchangeable between the respective versions.

Lindberg's writing in this concerto has been compared to that of the Sibelius violin concerto. Since the premiere in 2006 by Lisa Batiashvili the work has established itself in the repertoire, with over 50 performances to date.
