5oz

Publicly launched in December 2021, 5oz. was conceived by Stephan Weishaupt, taking a collaborative approach to partnerships with artists by offering a gallery environment that guides both the presentation and buying experience in a way that is highly individualised. Stemming from a life-long immersion in the art world and as an extension of his successful, multi-national design businesses, 5oz.’s approach is reflective of Weishaupt’s personal vision. Showing art and interacting with clients in unconventional, highly personalised ways differentiates the brand from a typical gallery. Displayed in a network of settings in and around Toronto, Vancouver, New York, and Miami, including within private residences, accessible by appointment, and at AVENUE ROAD showrooms, roving exhibitions include a mix of represented artists’ works. A highly personalised, consultative approach is taken to the service offering, which includes advising, sourcing, procurement, and logistics for bespoke commissions, in addition to selling pieces from artists included in the 5oz. roster.
