Stephen Markos is the founder and director of Superhouse. He started his career by launching the first online fine art auction house with Artnet and has worked at Christie’s and the Museum of Modern Art. Markos believes we should not confine art to walls or pedestals and instead integrate it into everyday items like tables, lamps, and sofas. Through Superhouse, he merges art and design through a dynamic program of exhibitions and events, focusing on contemporary and historical works. Markos collaborated with top galleries such as Friedman Benda, Nilufar Gallery, and R & Company, and publications including Architectural Digest, Curbed, Interior Design, Metropolis, The New York Times, and PIN-UP featured his work. He earned his B.A. in art history from The George Washington University and attributes his upbringing in New England, surrounded by early American antiques, as the inspiration for his lifelong passion for art and design.
