WEST PALM BEACH — The Norton Museum of Art’s schedule for 2012-2013 includes a large exhibition of the works of famed Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair photographer Annie Leibovitz, centered on more than three dozen works the museum has recently purchased, it was announced Thursday.

The museum also announced the inaugural awarding of an annual $20,000 cash prize for emerging photographers, funded by local art collector Beth Rudin DeWoody in honor of her father.

Other anticipated exhibitions in the next season include “Keep Calm and Carry On: World War II and the British Home Front, 1938-1946,” illustrating how England mobilized to win the war, and “The Radical Camera: New York’s Photo League, 1936-1951,” which chronicles how a group of young, idealistic photographers, most of them Jewish, used the power of the documentary photograph during a tumultuous period that spanned the Depression, the New Deal and World War II.

Also during the season, the museum will exhibit the works of American artist Sylvia Plimack Mangold, African and African-American art from the Norton’s collection and a show featuring paintings by modern artists James Rosenquist, Ed Ruscha, Andy Warhol and Cy Twombly.

Before the season begins, the Norton will be closed for two weeks from September 3 through the 17th in order to reinstall its main lobby with an installation by New York artist Rob Wynne titled “I Remember Ceramic Castles, Mermaids & Japanese Bridges.”
