French term or phrase: exposition personelle

I have two lists of exhibitions. "Expositions personnelles" and "Expositions collectives". The first is an exhibition in which all the works are by the same artist. I have put "Single artist exhibitions". The second is "Expositions collectives" which I suspect have roughly similar works but by different artists. I have put "Collective exhibitions". (Wikipedia also suggests the use of the word "Exposition" but this seems a bit pretentious. Does anyone know which are the usual terms used? (The document is for publication).

Grading comment

Many thanks Alan. This is the term I chose. I rejected "one-man" because, in fact, there were two male and one female artists in the text. My thanks to all who contributed.
