In 1924, the International Printmakers Society of California awarded Monhoff a bronze medal for "Best Print or Best Series of Prints". Monhoff's etching "Clothes Burning Ceremony" is listed in the Art Institute of Chicago's 1932 exhibition catalog "First International Exhibition of Etching and Engraving". In early 2000, Monhoff's work was featured in the Sweet Briar College gallery exhibition, "White to Blue: American Art as Reflection of Social Class in the 20th Century." The Frederick Monhoff Memorial Prize and The Frederick Monhoff Printing Lab at Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles, California are named in his honor.
