Biography

Stephen Markos is a New York-based collector, curator and the founder of Superhouse, a digital platform and nomadic gallery specializing in art furniture and design. Markos began his career by launching the world’s first fine art online auction house with Artnet and has held positions at The Museum of Modern Art New York, Christie’s and Adorno.

Through Superhouse, Markos works to bridge art, design and technology by providing online programming including daily content, special events, and designer interviews with the likes of Gaetano Pesce and Lapo Binazzi. His recent curated shows include Super Group, which highlighted work by 50+ global contemporary creatives and Different Tendencies, which focused on historically important works from the Radical Period of Italian design in a widely-recognized 3D experience.

In Summer 2021, Markos unveils the first design video game, in the exhibition Memory Foam, comprising a series of sculptural chairs by design duo OrtaMiklos. In Fall 2021, Superhouse will open the Superhouse Vitrine, a 10×10-foot exhibition space in New York’s Lower East Side. Markos’s work has been featured in numerous publications, including Architectural Digest, Dezeen, Elle Decor Italia, Interior Design, New York magazine’s Design Hunting, and Sight Unseen.
