Having turned from photographer to visionary pioneer in the mixed media form, artist Karen Bystedt conceptualized a new future for her Warhol portraits taken of Andy in 1982, one that echoed her subject’s inventive spirit and mirrored his approach to both inspiration and practical creation. Bystedt invited contemporary street and fine artists to interpret her images in their own artistic language, co-creating mixed media artwork, thus conceptualizing a series of collaborations that would represent community and pay homage to the mixed media form so inextricably associated with the legacy of Warhol.

Over the last 10 years, this canon has developed and expanded; the work is definitively diverse, representing an eclectic array of artistic identities, thus promoting inclusion whilst positioning the artwork in the realm of the accessible with which Warhol himself toyed. The Lost Warhols live as a testament to the intrinsic value of eclecticism in visual perspective, honoring individuality in interpretation, and allowing the self to shine in position as part of a greater whole.
