With a foreword by Richard Blanco, the book explores the first 25 years of Betancourt's career.[4] That same year, in November, he mounted a solo exhibition at the Puerto Rico Museum of Contemporary Art.[4][10] In 2018, he received a Florida Prize from the Orlando Museum of Art.[11] His work is part of the permanent collection of the National Portrait Gallery of the United States.[12]
