His first one man exhibition was held at New York's A.C.A. Gallery in 1935. He later exhibited at such major institutions as the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Corcoran Gallery and the Carnegie Institute. Dobkin also illustrated a number of fine books and taught for many years in New York at both the Educational Alliance and at the Art Students League.
