Exhibitions of his works, some in joint exhibitions with other artists in the group, have taken place regularly since 1994, mainly in galleries and public institutions in Berlin and various northern German cities, but also in southern Germany, Italy, Finland, Sweden, France, the Netherlands and Canada . In 2008 Krigar won the Rembrandt Painting Award in Noordwijk, the Netherlands . In 2013, as a member of the North German Realists, he received the Schleswig-Holstein Business Art Prize.
