Not all art-collecting this month is going on in Miami: tonight brings the opening reception for the Young Collectors Exhibition, a diverse set of works intended for young (read: a level below Sotheby’s on desired price point) patrons. The whole show, put on by Leila Heller Gallery and WASP bible Town & Country, raises money for the Pollock-Krasner Foundation’s Hurricane Sandy relief fund, to aid those artists whose livelihoods were affected by the lower-Manhattan floodwaters … Meanwhile, Uma Thurman, Eric Ripert and the perpetually headband-wearing Arden Wohl stop by the Tibet House benefit auction at Christie’s, for which Martin Scorsese (on a break from shooting that new Leo flick) serves as one of the honorary chairs.
Leila Heller Gallery, 568 West 25th Street, opening reception tonight at 6:30pm, exhibition remains open through January 12, information can be found at leilahellergallery.com; Tibet House benefit auction, Christie’s Auction House, 20 Rockefeller Plaza, 6:30pm, tickets can be obtained by calling 845-658-4150.
