Im Herbst/Winter 2024/25 sind zwei große institutionelle Ausstellungen von ihr im Metropolitan Museum New York und in der Saatchi Gallery in London zu sehen. Anastasia Samoylovas Arbeiten befinden sich unter anderem in den Sammlungen des Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, des Perez Art Museum in Miami, des High Museum of Art in Atlanta und des Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago.
