“After the success of our first San Antonio event and the property going under contract the following week, we are excited to continue collaborating with my fellow Kuper Sotheby’s agents to market these incredible properties,” said
Leslie Gossett, Co-Founder.
“The next Kuper Sotheby’s listing where we’ll be hosting an event is a stunning 7,500-square-foot art deco condo in the arts district of San Antonio. It’s owned by an art dealer, so it lends itself perfectly for an exhibit and HOUSE OF L experience.”
"HOUSE OF L / Lana and Leslie did such a great job curating art and creating an experience for the guests our Jim Boles Home at 2 Brayton Place in the Dominion,” said
Susan Hallmark, Kuper Sotheby's International Realty.
“The party was the talk of the industry and days following the event, the home was under contract."
Later this fall, on
Thursday, Sept. 5,
art enthusiasts will get an opportunity to engage in the HOL experience in a stunning penthouse in the heart of downtown Austin, located at
555 Hilton Residences.
Guests will enjoy phenomenal views of the Austin skyline, Town Lake, the University of Texas campus and the 2,323-square-foot upper-level terrace, the largest in the city. The event will feature cocktails, canapes and desserts, music and a special art activation and toast from Kuper Sotheby’s agent Joe Longton and the HOL founders. The property will also be open to interested buyers for a day time reception on
Friday, Sept. 6.
“Space always dictates my curation,” said
Lana Carlson, Co-Founder.
“When curating an event in a new property, I always draw inspiration from the space itself - that’s where my ideas and creativity stems from, the space is my playground. With each event, we try to feature exciting, fresh pieces from a diverse selection of established and emerging artists. We’re consistently growing our stable of artists and catalogue.”
