Miami Cafecito | April 1
What's Happening in Miami
A Stretch of Miami Beach gets 285,000 tons of sand to widen beach
Federal, state and county agencies funded the $11.5 million re-nourishment project. The widening is crucial to protect the island from storm surge in the event of a hurricane. And it provides more space for beach-goers to sunbathe.
Considering a move? Here are the property tax rates in every Miami-Dade city.
The lowest rate can be found in one of Miami-Dade’s wealthiest enclaves: Key Biscayne, where residents pay a property-tax rate of just under 1.7 percent. A prosperous real estate market certainly can help keep rates low: Key Biscayne’s properties have a combined market value of $10.9 billion, compared to just $1.1billion for Opa-locka.

The Value of Art | Episode 6: Size
Every specialist in Episode 6 agrees: size definitely matters. But not the way you might think. In some categories, diminutive objects can be highly valued – in a Chinese works of art sale, the most expensive pieces will fit into the palm of your hand. But in a category like postwar painting, larger scale works can be highly desirable. Frances Christie of Sotheby’s London cites the example of pioneering British artist Alan Davie, who was introduced to painter Jackson Pollock by art dealer Peggy Guggenheim.
“The story goes that Alan Davie learned from Pollock to be confident on a large scale,” Christie explains. Important collectors noticed. Decades later, when one of Davie’s ambitiously scaled works sold for a record price at Sotheby’s, “it showed that actually, size does matter,” says Christie.
