This fall, the art world will converge on West Palm Beach as globally celebrated artists Camilla Webster and Karen Bystedt debut their highly anticipated collaborative exhibition, Warhols: Lost and Found. Taking place at Webster’s new gallery space in Flamingo Park Plaza, across from The Norton Museum of Art, this unique show offers an intimate exploration of their direct relationships with the legendary Andy Warhol.
Camilla Webster, known for her acclaimed American Flag paintings, and Karen Bystedt, celebrated for her iconic photographs of Warhol share the stage in this exhibition. Warhol granted Bystedt a sitting in the conference room of “The Factory” in 1982 for a book, NOT JUST ANOTHER PRETTY FACE: America’s Top Male Models (NAL). Andy Warhol was Webster’s neighbour as a girl in New York City, and a lifelong inspiration. Webster created the flag painting used in collaboration with Karen Bystedt’s photograph of Warhol holding the American flag at the esteemed Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Aspen, Colorado.
Webster’s work, which delves into themes of Americana, idyllic memory, and cultural identity, is paired with Bystedt’s photographic exploration of Warhol’s persona, creating a powerful visual dialogue that honors Warhol’s influence while pushing the boundaries of
contemporary art.
“The memory of this unique creative environment that Andy fostered drew us together,” says Webster. “It was a time when the great melting pot of New York City generated a daring magic in the air. Karen and I were there. All was possible. There was hubris, rebellion, innovation in ideas, materials, Americana, and optimism. West Palm Beach is experiencing a similar bombastic chapter in arts, culture, and real estate, making it the perfect fresh location for this exhibit.”
Warhols: Lost and Found was born from a shared vision between Webster and Bystedt, inspired by Webster’s acclaimed American Flag series and Bystedt’s iconic photograph of Warhol holding the American flag. The exhibition features new original paintings on canvas by Webster, alongside a collaboration of American flag prints, collectible t-shirts, the Lost Warhols custom Linen box set which holds 10 of Bystedt’sphotographs of Warhol by Bystedt with a bonus contact sheet, white gloves and original quotes given to Bystedt by Andy offering visitors a comprehensive and immersive experience.
The exhibition will open on Friday November 15th and runs through the holiday season in Palm Beach.
West Palm Beach, a city with a rich history of Warhol collectors and muses, including Jane Holzer, provides the perfect backdrop for this show. The exhibition is expected to draw significant interest from the art community and beyond, making it a landmark event of the season.

Seven Superb Museum Stores to Explore in The Palm Beaches
Posted by: Cultural Council
Get ready for a holiday shopping spree!
Making your way to The Palm Beaches this holiday season? While Florida’s ever-exquisite destination for arts and culture provides a wealth of ‘shop-tions’ on Palm Beach’s Worth Avenue, West Palm Beach’s Rosemary Square or Boca Raton’s Mizner Park, among many others—there are plenty of exceptional cultural gift options available for those who want to shop outside the box for friends and family.
Here, we’ve collected seven excellent museum shop choices for you to explore during your trip to Florida’s Cultural Capital. Now, get to it and shop away!
For the art-lover in your life
The Norton Museum of Art, which was recently renovated by the famous Foster + Partners, is where you’ll want to go to for an excellent day (or evening) of high-quality exhibitions, collections and more.
On your way out, you’ll want to stop by The Store to grab a gift or small stocking stuffer for those who couldn’t join you on your trip!
Gilded Age style with modern convenience
One of The Palm Beaches’ oldest and most-famous institutions, the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum offers shoppers a chance to witness the decadence of the Gilded Age in all of its exquisite glory. Located on the first floor of the opulent Whitehall Mansion, former home of oil magnate and “father of Palm Beach” Henry Flagler, is the organization’s gift store. Here, you’ll find an array of memorabilia from the Florida East Coast Railway (Flagler’s rail line, built in the late 1800s and early 1900s), home decor, apparel, kitchenware and children’s toys that relate to the museum’s era and subject.
A visit to this store is available with any museum admission, so it serves as a perfect end to your day at the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum. These gifts are perfect for mothers, grandmothers or even historically-curious kids that are hard to buy presents for!
Eastern delicacies and apparel abound
For the friend or family member that deals in international intrigue, you’ll want to take your shopping list on a trip to the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens. Not only does the museum exude all things calm and soothing at a time that’s certainly stressful and rushed, the gift shop takes you far from the shores of South Florida into a world of kimonos, parasols, decorative ceramics and perfect small, suitcase-friendly items in the form of Japanese candy and snacks.
The shop is located within the museum’s main building in Delray Beach and can be visited with admission.
Local art and literature in Lake Worth
For a taste of the destination’s art scene, make way to downtown Lake Worth and into the Robert M. Montgomery, Jr. Building to pay a visit to the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County. Pop into any of the three galleries to explore expertly-curated exhibitions featuring the work of area artists.
On your way out, browse through the Roe Green Uniquely Palm Beach Store and get something nice for that special someone in your life. Whether you’re looking for a book, a bow tie, or a bracelet—know that a significant portion of your purchase goes directly back to the Palm Beach County artist who made it. You cross another item off your shopping list, and you’ve supported the growth of arts and culture…now that’s a win-win!
Perfect for performing arts fans
Not sure what to get the theatergoer in your life? Take them to a performance at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts in West Palm Beach, but arrive early and take a peek at the center’s excellent gift shop. Handbags, decorations, books, stationery, jewelry—who could ask for more?
Here’s an extra tip for arts and retail lovers both: the Kravis Center is only a block away from Rosemary Square, West Palm Beach’s major shopping district. Before the show, you can hit the stores, grab a bite to eat and make it back to the theater before the curtain rises!
Eco-friendly gifts in Juno Beach
Like anyone needs an excuse to shop near the beach! You’re already in relaxation mode, so why not purchase items that benefit an organization dedicated to life under the sea? Loggerhead Marinelife Center, located in Juno Beach, offers tours of their state-of-the-art sea turtle rehabilitation center to visitors year-round. At the center’s gift shop, you’ll find the perfect present for any environmentally-conscious friend or family member: sustainable drinkware, accessories, lifestyle products, beach gear and more. Say “hello” to one of the turtles and get your shopping done…at the same time!
Modern arts excellence
An elegant end to your shopping guide is located at the ever-popular Boca Raton Museum of Art. Not only is the museum smack dab in the middle of Mizner Park, Boca Raton’s luxury outdoor shopping and dining district, it also features the pièce de résistance of museum gift shops in The Palm Beaches. Books for burgeoning artists? Plenty. Quirky decorations for the home? Indeed. Boutique selections that are sure to please the art-minded friend? Almost exclusively!
Don’t forget to visit the museum’s collections and special exhibitions while you’re there. It’s a colorful way to spend the day!
