Yabu Pushelberg, Toronto Studio

Yabu Pushelberg, Toronto Studio

Yabu Pushelberg’s Toronto studio occupies a former food distribution center at 55 Booth Street in the east end of Toronto. The building next door, 59 Booth Street, previously housed the Avenue Road Showroom, a business partnership that began between George Yabu, Glenn Pushelberg, and Stephan Weishaupt. When Avenue Road relocated, Yabu Pushelberg acquired the property, joining the two buildings to create the existing 13,000 square feet studio space.

Yabu Pushelberg renovated the two properties as one open-concept studio space which now features a reception area, gallery, boardrooms, communal kitchen, accounting offices, sample library, staff lockers, washrooms, a massage room, and outdoor patio. The 59 Booth property became the studio’s 925 square feet gallery space which displays permanent artworks from George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg’s private art collection, including specially commissioned Yayoi Kusama pumpkin, and works by Anish Kapoor, Wolfgang Tillmans, Yutaka Sone, General Idea, and Ooloosie Saila.
