Paintings by this Munich-educated artist can be admired in the collections of the Tel Aviv Museum, the En Charod Art Museum in Israel, the National Museum in Warsaw and the Emanuel Ringelblum Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw, among others. The artist's work was a product of significant artistic trends of the early 20th century. Echoes of Cubism, Fauvism or Expressionism can be found in it. Marcel Sweet's works do not often appear on the antiquarian market, although his paintings were appreciated already during the artist's lifetime. Individual exhibitions in the interwar period were held in Zurich and Paris, for example.
