Virgil Abloh: "Figures of Speech"

Virgil Abloh is the first museum exhibition devoted to the work of multihyphenate artist Virgil Abloh (American, b. 1980), best known for Off-White, the first luxury fashion brand designed and owned by an African American.

The exhibition offers an in-depth look at the Chicago-based artist’s ever-expanding discipline, which encompasses fashion, architecture, music, and design. His signature fashion is presented in mannequin displays alongside video documentation of his most iconic shows. The exhibition also features the artist’s work in other mediums, including furniture design, graphic design work, architectural interventions, and collaborative projects with other designers and artists such as Peter Saville and Tom Sachs.
