Nov 29 Tues
Warning. This will be the chilliest night of the week, which in Miami in November means the thermometer will drop to 58 degrees. If you're going to stay out late, or be at an outdoor event, bring a sweater.
New this year: The art collectors Adam and Lenore Sender present "Home Alone" through Dec 4. This is just one of their homes -- they also have places in the Hamptons and in Manhattan -- and they have already moved on. Since the house was empty, they decided to deck it out with serious art. Sender, called an "art shark" by Businessweek in 2006 (he once worked unde Steve Cohen), is a hedge fund manager, and so far has avoided the "Occupy Sender's Empty House" crowd who might be aware he has 14 cars. Works by Matthew Barney, Urs Fischer, Keith Haring, Barbara Kruger, Banks Violette, Richard Prince, and possibly Cindy Sherman (Sender owns 30 of them). North Bay Road, by invitation only and VIP.

| William Powhida's chart of the art world success relative to Ed Ruschahy |
|
|
One of my favorite galleries, Postmasters, is celebrating its 25 anniversary. This year it brings William Pohida to the Seven group show that previews today with a BBQ at 5:30. Members of the art world should hie themselves over there and snap up Pohida's insightfully drawn commentaries on art and fame. Above is "Art World Success Relative to Ed Ruscha" divided in four quadrants: Institutional, Elite, Common and Commercial. There are lots of art-world heavies depicted here. Go. Buy. Seven show, 2214 North Miami Ave, Wynwood, Miami.

This is the house designed by Rene Gonzalez, set right on Biscayne Bay, on the only really private island in the Miami area. (The rest have city streets, and are therefore open to the public.)
