The work of Theaster Gates was ringing through Miami, definitely the hottest artist in town. The hype around him makes me want to back off. The black stuff in this picture is cement and he has had it patented, how clever is that?

In Alison Jacques’ cupboard we spot high heels, handbags and naked bodies all lounging about ready to meet their rightful owners.<br><br>In the evening it was one of the most relaxing dinners of my life. The Rubell family, De La Cruz, Thomas Houseago , Tracey Emin, hosted by the Hauser and Wirth team it was lovely we were floating on a cloud and did not bother to leave till after two. Everyone gave speeches including Thomas, Iwan and Tracey. Rashid Johnson toasted to the beautiful night and busy day.
