| Palm Beach Weekend: Lilly! Andy! The Zoo! Nicky! Jane! By Augustus Mayhew This past weekend I took a few moments away from the scriptures of Palm Beach's revered social history to exhaust my camera battery by taking a few snaps of the resort's omnipresent philanthropic celebrations for various causes and concerns. |

| 31 January 2014 - 11:00 am Preview of Property from the Estate of Lilly Pulitzer Auction Leslie Hindman Auctioneers www.lesliehindman.com 1608 South Dixie Highway West Palm Beach If you are looking to add the Lilly Look outside of your closets, the upcoming February 22nd auction by Leslie Hindman Auctioneers of selected pieces from Lilly Pulitzer Rousseau's recently sold South County Road enclave might be just time and place to Lillify every room. Conducting 50 auctions annually in the Midwest, Naples, and Palm Beach, LH has handled sales for Mrs. Robert R. McCormick, the Potter Palmer families, and Dole heiress Elizabeth F. Cheney, along with the estates of Leona Helmsley and Betsy Pickering Kaiser, who in 1982 insisted I use Erno Lazlo products and I have ever since. Last Friday, as the staff was prepping their 1608 South Dixie Highway saleroom a block south of the Norton Museum, I stopped by and took some snaps. The catalog is online at the Leslie Hindman website if you want to pick some must-haves before the actual frenzy goes through the ceiling. Here are a few objet d'Lilly that caught my eye. |

| 31 January 2014 - 11:30 am Press Preview - To Jane, Love Andy: Warhol's First Superstar Norton Museum of Art West Palm Beach Friday midday I dropped by the Norton Museum of Art for a preview and tour of the To Jane, Love Andy: Warhol's First Superstar exhibition that the following night would be the main attraction for the Norton's annual Gala. Curator Cheryl Brutvan led the local press through the show, along with Norton director and CEO Hope Alswang and communications director Scott Benarde. Just as some of us were getting ready to leave, Jane Holzer graciously arrived. As she glanced up to watch herself in one of Warhol's underground classics, Holzer chatted casually about her 15-minutes of fame — an expression credited to her patron Andy Warhol— that has been mounted at The Norton as a major museum show. |

| 2014 Norton Museum Gala To Jane, Love Andy: Warhol's First Superstar 1 February 2014 - Norton Museum of Art - 7 pm Sold out for the past two months, the Norton Museum of Art was transformed Saturday night into a Studio '64, a tableaux to showcase the opening of the museum's latest exhibition of Palm Beach-New York personality Jane Holzer's former incarnation as a Superstar at Andy Warhol's Factory. As Warhol's first and most glamorous superstar, she played a leading role during the 1960s counterculture. The Norton's exhibition traces Holzer's media-magnate rise from her uninhibited roles in Warhol's grainy downtown black-and-white films to her sought-after international magazine cover girl career. Here are scenes from Jane Holzer's latest role as the focus of a museum exhibition. |
