Liliart Internet
Marketing LLC, Liliart Publishing Company Inc. Art-4-Less,
Art-4-Evenless.com, and LeonARTo.com were all founded by Steven Kern
and Kenneth Zerbe. Steven Kern is a former Partner with the
accounting Firm of Arthur Young and Company. Kenneth Zerbe is a
former Vice President of Finance with Apple Computer. Both have been
noted Silicon Valley entrepreneurs for many years.
The Partners created these companies and sites to be the
Internet marketing and publishing arm for both The Curtis Collection,
a business that they have owned in partnership since 1982, and their
retail Internet art galleries, including LeonARTo.com, the most
innovative on-line art gallery in the world.
The Curtis
Collection specializes in the sale of photogravures, hand printed
from the original copper photogravure plates of Edward S. Curtis, the
noted photographer of Native Americans. These plates are significant
and important historical collectables as well.
The Partners started Art-4-Less, the world's largest, full
time, discount art gallery in late 1997. Starting with a small amount
of inventory, the site grew to approximately 600 items, all offered
for 50% or less of gallery retail prices. During 1998, after entering
into many exclusive arrangements with major art publishers, self
published artists, art galleries, and printers, Art-4-Less expanded
from its original site to a total of 11 sites, including a wide
variety of quality art works, all at value price points.
With the invention of the LeonARTo search technology and the
LeonARTo art consultant character, these galleries are now merged
into LeonARTo.com. LeonARTo.com's interface allows customers to find
the art they want quickly and easily by using LeonARTo as an art
consultant. During 2003, LeonARTo.com will unveil an exciting new
interface, making the purchase of art more fun and easier.
Art-4-Less and
Art-4-Evenless are for people who want fine art prints at rock bottom
prices. With its simple interface, you will easily find what you
want.
All of the
Company's sites have shopping cart interfaces, secure servers, and
accept credit cards in a safe manner for customers.
The Companies have become one of the art industry leaders
on the Internet. They are privately held and are well financed.
