She was represented by the John Weber Gallery in New York City from 1976 through 2001 and has exhibited in major museums and galleries nationally as well as Europe and Japan. Currently she is represented by Galerie Thomas Schulte in Berlin and Fredric Snitzer Gallery in Miami. Her works can be found in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, NY, the Whitney Museum of American Art, Brooklyn Museum, the Louis Vuitton Foundation, LA County Museum, and the National Gallery. She exhibited at the Venice Biennale, Documenta VI and VIII in Kassel, Germany and the Whitney Biennial. She has had two major retrospectives. The first was organized by the Wurttembergischer Kunstverein in Stuttgart in 1983 and traveled to Kolnischer Kunstverein Koln; Sculpturenmuseum Glaskasten, Marl; Haags Gemeentemuseum, Den Haag; Kunstmuseum Luzern. In 1990, the second retrospective entitled “Complex Visions” was organized by the Storm King Art Center in Mountainville, NY. A retrospective of her drawings at the new Parrish Art Museum in Southampton, NY coinciding with the Grey Art Gallery, NY opened in April of 2013. The retrospective will then travel to the University Art Museum at the University of California, Santa Barbara and the Santa Barbara Museum of Art in 2014. A reconstruction of “A Simple Network of Underground Wells and Tunnels” from 1975 is currently sited at Omi International Arts Center, in Ghent, NY. Aycock's early public works are land pieces that involve reshaping the earth such as A Simple Network of Underground Wells and Tunnels, Low Building With Dirt Roof (For Mary), and the Williams College Project, all situated on farms in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Massachusetts While these pieces have become subjected to the weather and are no longer there, she has continuously worked on outdoor pieces and installations that are permanently sited in public and private places. A long list of these pieces includes: The Solar Wind, in Salem, VA, The House Of Stoics, in Lake Biwa, Japan, The Tower Of Babel, in Buhsnami Sculpture Garden near Houston, Texas, The Island of the Moons and Suns, Robert Orton's sculpture garden in La Jolla, CA, Fantasy Sculpture II, at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and Summaries of Arithmetic Through Dust, Including Writing Not Yet Printed, at the entrance to the Engineering Department, University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Aycock's public sculptures can be found in many major cities in the U.S. Some of her public commissions include a roof top sculpture for the 107th Police Precinct House in Queens, NY in collaboration with the architects Perkins, Eastman and a Waterworks installation built adjacent to a new Medical Facility at the University of Nebraska in Omaha. In collaboration with Nicholas Quennell of the landscape firm of Quennell Rothschild Associates and HOK/TCA, Associated Architects for the New York Hospital, she designed a sculptural roof installation, East River Roundabout, for the new East River Park Pavilion at 60th Street in New York City. In 1996 she inaugurated a new work for the New San Francisco Public Library - a functional and fantasy spiral stairs and a suspended "Cyclone Fragment". The work required close collaboration with the library's principal architect James Ingo Freed of Pei, Cobb, Freed and Partners. Concurrently, she opened a new suspended sculpture for the Sacramento Convention Center in California. This work is approximately 200 feet long and showcases suspended moving parts. Tuning Fork Oracle, a marble table assemblage for the courtyard of Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey.

An outdoor sculpture for the Johnson-Ward Pedestrian Mall at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville was built in the summer of 2009 as well as a new work for Weber State University, Utah, titled, Entangling/Disentangling Space. An interior relief sculpture was installed in 2010 for Western Connecticut State University, Danbury, CT. A permanent public artwork was completed in 2012 at the Washington Dulles International Airport, Washington, D.C, as well as a permanent interior work for Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI. In the spring of 2014, a series of sculptures will be installed on the Park Avenue Malls in New York City, entitled “Park Avenue Paper Chase”. In the summer of 2000 she constructed a new work for an exhibition of American Sculpture of the 20th century for the Principality of Monaco in Monte Carlo. In September of 2005 the MIT Press published the artist's first hardcover monograph, entitled Alice Aycock, Sculpture and Projects, authored by Robert Hobbs. In 2008-9, the Museum of Modern Art exhibited her sculpture “Studies for a Town” as part of their permanent collection; the Whitney Museum of American Art exhibited her sculpture in the exhibition “Sites”.
