The Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach celebrated the opening of "David Webb: Society's Jeweler" with a Premiere event on Jan. 15, 2014, featuring a cocktail reception for more than 250 patrons and friends of the Museum. The exhibition opened on January 16th and runs through April 2014. The guests enjoyed an advance viewing of the exhibition – the first major retrospective of designer David Webb's jewelry from 1960 to 1975 – as well as a chance to see a "mini atelier" in operation as Webb jewelers masterfully created iconic designs at workbenches. During a post-reception dinner at the Museum, event Co-chairs Dorothy Kohl and Lori Gendelman were recognized for their outstanding leadership. Frederic A. and Jean Sharf, a Norton Trustee, were recognized for their generous support of the exhibition.
