About
Superhouse is a New York–based gallery championing contemporary design and materially driven art. Founded and directed by Stephen Markos, the gallery presents a dynamic program of historical rediscoveries and new works by visionary artists and designers.
Known for its rigorous curatorial approach, Superhouse advances the global discourse of art, design, and fine craft—often foregrounding voices and movements that have been historically underrecognized. The gallery works across disciplines, fostering critical conversations between furniture, fiber, ceramics, metalwork, and sculpture.
A core pillar of the program is the revival of late-20th-century American art furniture, including landmark works that have been unseen for decades. Through research, exhibition-making, and advocacy, Superhouse positions this radical era as a pivotal chapter in contemporary cultural history.
Superhouse collaborates closely with artists, estates, and archives to present rediscoveries, primary-source material, and ambitious new commissions. Its roster includes leading and emerging makers from Africa, the Americas, and Europe, bringing global perspectives to the evolving landscape of radical making today.
