The 15th anniversary of ArtPalmBeach opens tomorrow with “Behind the Lens of Willian John Kennedy” and “ModernMasters Serves it Rare”.

The exhibitions provide a rare glimpse into the journey of Andy Warhol and Robert Indiana from before they were famous. Collaborative pieces from Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat will also be on display, among others.

With musical, pop cultural and racial undertones, the exhibition captures important moments in American contemporary art.
