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.
