ART

Thursday 2/17

ARTIST'S EVOLUTION
   Cuban-born artist Rafael Soriano's works span from his folkloric themes that dominated Cuban art in the mid '20s to geometric abstraction in the '50s and a defined, signature approach by the late '60s. This evolution is examined in "Rafael Soriano: Other Worlds Within, a Sixty Year Retrospective." Ends March 27. University of Miami Lowe Art Museum, 1301 Stanford Drive, Coral Gables. Free for members, children under 12 and University of Miami students, faculty and staff. $5 seniors and students. $10 others. Details: (305) 284-3535 or www.lowemuseum.org.
MULTI-MEDIUM
   Artist Debbie Carfagno's work is displayed as part of the "I Art Miami" artist-of-the-month exhibition series. Pieces on display demonstrate how an artist can transform a singular image into different media, broadening their message. Ends March 4. Markowicz Fine Art, One NE 40th St., Miami. Details: (786) 362-5546 or info@markowiczfineart.com or www.markowiczfineart.com.
INSPIRED DEPICTIONS
   Miami Art Museum showcases works of the late Robert Rauschenberg, examining the artist's techniques over his career. Includes "Untitled" from his Copper Series and several works from his estate. Ends April 10. Miami Art Museum, 101 W Flagler St., Miami. Details: (305) 375-3000 or www.miamiartmuseum.org.
RESTITUTION SOUGHT
   As Nazi reign overtook 1930s Germany, the livelihoods of many Jewish citizens were stripped away. Dr. Max Stern suffered such a fate when his license to trade art at his gallery was taken away because he was Jewish, and he was forced to auction his artworks at extremely devalued rates. After his death in 1987, a project began to collect those works auctioned off. "Auktion 392: Reclaiming the Galerie Stern, Dusseldorf" examines his story and the restitution of art looted by the Nazis, some of which is on display. Ends April 25. Jewish Museum of Florida, 301 Washington Ave., Miami Beach. Details: (305) 672-5044 or www.jewishmuseum.com.
