On the evening of November 11, the hills of West Hollywood were invigorated with conversation, light, and creative energy as guests gathered for the opening of Dialogues on the Knoll. Hosted by The Agency’s Partner and Co-Founder, Paul Lester and estates agent, Daniel Stevenson, the event marked the debut of a uniquely immersive art experience that transforms four adjoining residences at The Row on West Knoll.
The Row on West Knoll, just a stone’s throw from the Sunset Strip, presents a limited collection of architectural residences represented by The Agency that balance sophisticated design with vibrant living.
Curated by ArtStager’s Kipton Cronkite, with salon partner and artist Todd Williamson, the exhibition brought together 19 contemporary artists whose works explore how art can ground us in a world of constant motion.
After the sun set, collectors, artists, and friends moved from home to home on The Row, each space offering its own rhythm and vibe. Sculptures cast long shadows across open rooms, paintings reflected flickers of candlelight, and subtle sound installations filled the air with a meditative hum. Conversations drifted between art and life, echoing the exhibition’s central theme: finding balance between chaos and stillness.
Host Paul Lester welcomed guests with gratitude and called out the creative vision and collaboration that brought the project to life. “Dialogues on the Knoll is about connection,” he shared, “between artist and viewer, space and silence, presence and possibility.”
Spanning a wide range of mediums — from clay and bronze to light and sound—each art piece and installation was distinct. Some creations pulsed with the energy, while others offered quiet refuge.
The exhibition features works by Alexandria Hilfiger, Brian Chaaban, Brandon Lomax, Caroline P.M. Jones, Christina Craemer, Cybele Rowe, David Paul Kay, Kristina Rose Baker, Leo Marmol, Mads Christensen, Mark Acetelli, Mohamed Ouedraogo, Nio Vardan, Roxie Sarhangi, Rotem Reshef, Shane Guffogg, Steve Hash, Theo Pinto, and Todd Williamson.
The evening also celebrated the partnerships that made the exhibition possible, including The Agency, Frost/Chaddock Developers and Kipton Cronkite, whose collaboration helped transform this vision into reality.
