Oscar Piastri won the thrilling FORMULA 1® CRYPTO.COM MIAMI GRAND PRIX 2025, extending his championship lead over McLaren teammate Lando Norris, who finished second after a fierce battle. Although Norris qualified second, he lost ground early on when he tangled with pole-sitter Max Verstappen of Oracle Red Bull Racing, dropping to sixth. Piastri capitalized on the chaos, building a crucial 9-second lead while battling Verstappen for position. Norris closed in during the race's final laps but finished 4.6 seconds behind Piastri, who has now won four of the first six races and leads Norris by 16 points in the standings. George Russell of Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 completed the podium in third, while Verstappen finished fourth after a frustrating race marred by difficulties during pit stops.
The Trophy for the winning driver of the FORMULA 1® CRYPTO.COM MIAMI GRAND PRIX 2025 was awarded to Oscar Piastri, McLaren driver, presented in its Bespoke Louis Vuitton Trophy Trunk.

Louis Vuitton To Present Woman's Spring-Summer 2023 Trunk Show At The Perez Art Museum Miami
Louis Vuitton is set to present it’s Women’s Spring-Summer 2023 Collection with Biscayne Bay as its iconic backdrop at the Perez Art Museum Miami (PAMM).

Louis Vuitton is set to present it’s Women’s Spring-Summer 2023 Collection Miami Trunk Show with Biscayne Bay as its iconic backdrop at the Perez Art Museum Miami (PAMM). Originally unveiled in October 2022 within the majestic surroundings of the Cour Carrée at the Louvre in Paris, the Miami Trunk show will take place at PAMM, an innovative museum dedicated to contemporary art designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron. Located on Miami’s Biscayne Bay, the three-story building sits upon an elevated platform and below a horticultural canopy, both of which extend far beyond the museum's walls, creating a unique shaded veranda and dynamic plazas. This iconic terrace will serve as the setting for the Trunk Show, which will be presented twice on the 14th, at 11:00 am and 4:00 pm. The show will be presented followed by private appointments to purchase the collection.
Designed by Louis Vuitton Artistic Director Nicolas Ghesquière, the Spring-Summer 2023 collection changes the play of proportions using the Maison’s signatures, bringing the infinitely large and infinitely small together in one silhouette. This new balance is found in the collection’s scale: zippers and snaps are oversized, clasps become belt buckles, and a scrap of leather is turned into an outfit, among other reinterpretations. The collection is a stylistic exercise that re-evaluates the proportions of clothing and accessories, unsettling the codes of femininity. Each piece highlights the details and honors the DNA of the house with references like locks, clasps and trunk corner pieces-all custodians of a narrative that endures.

This December, Louis Vuitton will be expanding its Objets Nomades collection by transforming its Miami Design District stores into an immersive Objets Nomades installation, highlighting new pieces for 2021, including Merengue and Aguacate by the Campana Brothers, Cosmic Table by Raw Edges and a Petal Chair by Marcel Wanders. The men’s store façade will be based on the Marcel Wanders Studio Objets Nomades Diamond Screen, where Marcel reinterprets Louis Vuitton’s historic Monogram motif and the canework that once adorned LV trunks. The color and sensationalism of the pattern adapted to the new men’s store façade screen pays homage to Miami Modernist architectural style. The Women's store’s façade will be temporarily wrapped in a jubilant burst of woven colors, patterned after a new Objet Nomade by the Campana Brothers. Inside, Patricia Urquiola has curated an enveloping exhibition of the universe of Objets Nomades, an inspiring journey through the remarkable artistic perspectives of all the Objets Nomades collaborators and an exceptional survey of the Maison’s heritage and savoir-faire.

JEFFREY DEITCH PRESENTS: ‘SHATTERED GLASS’
Shattered Glass, the acclaimed exhibition of new art by emerging artists of color, which was shown at Jeffrey Deitch Los Angeles last spring, will be presented in an expanded version in the Moore Building in the Miami Design District. The Los Angeles version of Shattered Glass, curated by Melahn Frierson and A.J. Girard, was more than an exhibition, it was a phenomenon, attracting 1,000 visitors per day in its final weeks on showcase. Shattered Glass connected with a diverse art audience, giving visitors a rare opportunity to see art that reflected their own life experience. The expanded Miami version of Shattered Glass will include fifteen new artists. The painting, sculpture, and photographic works in the exhibition are all figurative. The subject matter is often the artists’ family and friends. Their primary subject is their own life and their community. The participating artists are all strongly socially engaged; many of whom incorporate powerful social messages into their work. The exhibition represents a remarkable new generation that connects with a new art audience. Jeffrey Deitch has been presenting exhibitions and public art projects in the Miami Design District since 2002.
Dates: November 29 - December 5
Location: Miami Design District The Moore Building
MITCHELL-INNES & NASH
Mitchell-Innes & Nash is pleased to announce its return to the Miami Design District with a winter exhibition space opening on Wednesday, November 24th. The first exhibition will be a group show featuring early works by Eddie Martinez alongside works by seven outsider, self-taught and American art brut artists that Martinez collects or is otherwise inspired by: Hawkins Bolden(1914-2005), Freddie Brice (1920-1998), David Butler (1898-1997), Willie Jinks (1921-2012), Ike Morgan (b. 1958), Mary T Smith (1904-1995) and Billy White (b. 1962). Taken together, the exhibition emphasizes a set of shared formal mannerisms between the artists: flatness rather than a sense of perspective, a graphic outline rather than finely wrought draughtsmanship. The work contains a sense of speed, immediacy and improvisation. Repeated figures assume a symbolic, spiritual or totemic quality.
Dates: November 29 - December 4 from noon to 8pm, Sunday, December 5 from noon to 6 pm - Winter Exhibition
Location: 151 NE 41st Street, Suite 125
GOODMAN GALLERY
Goodman Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new and existing bronze sculptures from William Kentridge's ongoing series of bronze glyphs, alongside a drawing from his most recent animated film, City Deep. Kentridge’s glyphs are a visual dictionary of sorts made up of a series of sculptures that form a vocabulary of symbols, representing a collection of everyday objects, suggested words, or icons that are ubiquitous in the artist's practice. The glyphs started as ink drawings and paper cut-outs, each on a single page from a dictionary. The drawings were transformed into bronzes, to embody the weight and character their shapes on paper suggested.
In their smaller formation, the glyphs can be arranged in order to construct sculptural sentences and rearranged to deny meaning. An example of this can be found in Drawing for City Deep (A Fault to be Discovered Later). City Deep is Kentridge's most recent film from his Drawings for Projection series. The film, grounded within Kentridge’s home city of Johannesburg, can be viewed as a counterpoint to the 1990 film, Mine, which depicts images of the deep-level mining industry. City Deep extends this depiction to the informal, surface-level “zama zama” miners who illegally work decommissioned mines on the edges of the formal mining economy.
Dates: November 24, 2021 - End of January 2022
Location: 151 NE 41st Street, Suite 123

JUAN CARLOS MALDONADO ART COLLECTION: THE POETICS OF EXACTNESS
Beyond minimal art –the historic movement– The Poetics of Exactness exhibit aims to explore the manifestations of a typically modern expressive desire that still remains present in the works of many contemporary artists: how can that order be accomplished –that minimum gesture whose materialization can cause a maximum effect in the psyche of its beholders? Drawing the boundary that separates an everyday object (one manufactured by industry, for example) from that special object that, for the lack of a more accurate descriptor, we still call a 'work of art'. Establishing this trait that separates a work of art from other objects of the world is, therefore, the job of many contemporary artists who, like many of their modern predecessors, produce what we could call a calculated, precise aesthetic –the poetics of exactness.
Dates: November 30 - December 5 | 10am - 6pm
Location: 3841 NE 2nd Avenue, Suite 201
