LITO Announces New Collaboration Bringing Exclusive Contemporary Artist Editions to Sotheby’s Online Marketplace

Published

on

The initiative sees artists create new works designed from the outset for high-quality, limited editions.

NEW YORK, April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LITO, a pioneering printmaking company redefining how art is created and collected, is pleased to announce a new collaboration that brings exclusive, museum-quality contemporary art editions to Sotheby’s online marketplace. The collaboration introduces a curated program of LITO Editions by leading international artists, offering collectors a new way to acquire highly refined, limited-edition works conceived in direct collaboration with the artists themselves.

LITO Editions are authentic works of art conceived in direct collaboration with artists, who imagine original work specifically for the format. The pieces are then developed into limited editions at LITO’s Technology Lab, an in-house research and production facility where engineers, technicians, and print specialists have developed the company’s patented Hi-Rnd© process. The lab brings together precision engineering and artistic collaboration to produce works that capture texture, color, relief, and brushstroke detail at multiple scales. Produced in limited runs, the editions are each hand-signed and numbered by the artist.

The initiative begins with an exclusive series of LITO Editions by acclaimed American portrait artist Kehinde Wiley. The series is based on his 2008 painting Triple Portrait of Charles II. Drawing on the historical tradition of multi-view portraiture, these works explore identity as layered and constructed rather than singular. Each piece is produced as a high-resolution print on Aludibond, set within an aluminum frame. The compositions feature engraved floral elements against mirrored backgrounds, available in Gold, Dark Mirror, and Mirror finishes, with select works also offered in a blue variant. Available for immediate purchase on Sotheby’s online marketplace, the editions are priced between $8,000 and $15,000, expanding access to Wiley’s work while maintaining the highest standards of craftsmanship.

Wiley’s editions are currently on view at Sotheby’s galleries in the Breuer Building in New York through April 24, offering collectors and the public an opportunity to experience the artist’s work and LITO’s high-resolution editions firsthand. The presentation highlights the depth, texture, and dimensionality that define LITO’s approach and underscores the collaboration’s emphasis on in-person engagement.

“The marriage of art and science is one that’s been known and storied. There was, prior to the camera, an assumption that art was the ultimate authority of truth in history. Now with new technology, art is freed to take on new responsibilities, and to be able to tell other types of stories,” said Wiley. “Working with Sotheby’s, LITO, and LITO’s technology has also allowed me to go back into my archive and rethink paintings that had been done years ago and these editions are part of a grand tradition of artists playing with the leading edge of technology.”

“As the art market continues to evolve, the collaboration signals a broader shift toward new formats and technologies that expand how art is created, distributed, and collected, without compromising on artistic intent or quality,” said John Dodelande, CEO of LITO. “By creating a new asset class within the art market, our technology will allow a new generation of collectors to experience and immerse themselves in the art world in a way that limited supply may have otherwise precluded them from.”

“Beginning a collection with editions offers an exciting and accessible entry point into contemporary art,” said Cynthia Houlton, Sotheby’s Senior Vice President and Global Head of Demand Generation & Marketplace. “Through our collaboration with LITO, collectors can acquire high‑quality works directly from the artist, reinforcing both authenticity and a meaningful connection to the creative process. Exclusive to Sotheby’s, these editions carry a compelling sense of rarity while remaining approachable. By presenting them on our Marketplace, we aim to welcome new audiences and invite discovery of exceptional art in a way that feels both inspiring and inclusive.”

New releases and exhibitions will follow throughout 2026, with monthly drops planned alongside presentations in New York, Los Angeles and London, including a Sotheby’s showcase in London from April 29 to May 17 and in Beverly Hills from May 18 to May 31.

Founded in 2022 and based in Bregenz, Austria, LITO already operates showrooms in Paris, London, and Bregenz, reflecting its growing international footprint. The company has collaborated with a wide range of internationally recognized contemporary artists, including Amoako BoafoDaniel ArshamCamille Henrot, Jia Aili, and Peter Halley, among others, advancing a model that creates new pathways for artists while extending the reach and accessibility of their work.

Founded in 2022, LITO is a forward-thinking printmaking company based in Bregenz, Austria. Through its patented Hi-Rnd© technology, LITO produces high-rendered limited editions that capture the texture, color, and dimensionality of original artworks with exceptional precision.

VEVOR Launches “Beat the Heat at Home” Summer Comfort Lineup for Outdoor Living

Published

on

By

HOUSTON, June 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As summer temperatures climb, staying cool at home shouldn’t require a sky-high electric bill, a cooler full of gas-station ice, or a contractor booked out until September. A smarter approach is gaining traction among American families: investing in the right tools to make outdoor living genuinely comfortable without the premium price tag. VEVOR — a trusted home improvement brand serving over 30 million home creators worldwide — today launches “Beat the Heat at Home,” a summer comfort lineup featuring shade, ice-making, and airflow solutions that deliver pro-level performance so your backyard truly becomes the place to be this summer.

“Summer comfort is not only about staying cool — it is about making outdoor spaces easier to enjoy,” said Gavin Wu, Brand Director at VEVOR. “With this lineup, VEVOR brings pro-level performance into practical home scenarios, helping Home Creators upgrade their backyards, patios, garages, and hosting spaces at exceptional value.”

Cool Living, Cold Drinks, Total Comfort
For most families, a truly comfortable summer day comes down to three things: a shady spot, a steady supply of ice-cold drinks, and enough airflow to keep the evening from feeling stagnant. Traditional solutions — pergolas, commercial ice machines, wired-in fans — often cost thousands or require contractors.

To bridge this gap, VEVOR’s Annual Big Summer Sale officially introduces the “Beat the Heat” collection. Together, the lineup addresses three common summer comfort needs: shade, ice, and airflow, so every corner of the backyard is covered. By delivering pro-level performance in effortless, budget-friendly setups, VEVOR offers Home Creators the ultimate plug-and-play summer cooling experience, making premium seasonal comfort accessible right out of the box.

Create Shade in Minutes
There’s a specific moment every summer host knows too well: the sun shifts, the one shady corner disappears, and suddenly everyone is squinting, relocating chairs, or retreating indoors altogether. It’s the kind of small frustration that quietly ruins an otherwise perfect afternoon.

VEVOR’s Pop-Up Canopy Gazebo was designed for exactly that moment. Available in 10×10, 11.5×11.5, and 12×12 ft configurations, it turns any open stretch of lawn or driveway into a comfortable, shaded gathering space — and it does so in minutes — designed for tool-free setup from the start. The mesh sidewalls earn their keep once evening arrives: mosquitoes stay out while the breeze still flows through, which means dinner can linger as long as the conversation does.

It’s not a permanent structure, and that’s the point. When the season changes or the party moves, the canopy folds back down just as quickly. For homeowners who want shade on their terms, not on a contractor’s timeline, it offers a flexible alternative to permanent shade structures.

Never Run Out of Ice
Few things signal “this gathering is winding down” faster than reaching into a cooler and finding nothing but lukewarm water and half-melted slush. Bags of store-bought ice solve the problem temporarily, but anyone who has made two mid-party runs to the gas station knows the drill gets old fast.

VEVOR’s Commercial Ice Maker Machine helps home hosts keep up with high-demand summer gatherings. Producing up to 130 lbs of ice every 24 hours and holding 33 lbs in its built-in storage bin, it keeps pace with a full afternoon of refills — lemonade pitchers, cocktail shakers, coolers for the kids’ juice boxes, all of it. The stainless-steel build looks at home in a garage bar or outdoor kitchen, and one-touch self-cleaning means maintenance is measured in button presses, not scrub sessions.

Keep the Air Moving
Anyone who has spent a July evening on a covered porch knows the paradox: the roof blocks the sun, but it also traps every degree of rising heat with nowhere to go. The air sits heavy, the ceiling feels lower than it is, and even a beautiful outdoor space starts to feel like something you’d rather admire from behind a glass door with the AC running inside.

VEVOR’s 18-Inch Wall-Mount Fan was built for exactly these in-between spaces that central air can’t reach and a tabletop fan can’t handle. Three-speed settings push up to 4,150 CFM of airflow across patios, enclosed porches, workshops, and garage gyms. That’s the kind of serious air movement that makes a covered space feel open again. With ETL certification and weather-resistant construction, it is designed for covered or semi-outdoor spaces where moisture and humidity are common.

Mounted on the wall and out of the way, it doesn’t eat into floor space or crowd a table. For households looking to cut back on running central AC in every room all day, a well-placed fan in the spaces where the family actually gathers is often the simplest and most cost-effective first step.

The deals are live — don’t leave them on the table.

Bringing Premium Roller Mop Technology to More Homes

Roller mop technology has emerged as one of the most significant innovations in robotic floor cleaning, offering continuous scrubbing performance while automatically cleaning the mop during operation.

Designed for busy households seeking a hands-free cleaning experience, the M14 PLUS now offers premium functionality at an unprecedented value.

YEEDI S14 PLUS Delivers Flagship Cleaning at 67% Off

Available for $399.99 (regularly $1,199.99), the YEEDI S14 PLUS reaches its lowest price in history and represents one of the most compelling values in the premium robot vacuum category.

Equipped with 18,000 Pa suction power and ZeroTangle 2.0 technology, the S14 PLUS delivers a flagship cleaning experience at a price point rarely seen in the premium robot vacuum market.
