In honor of Virgil Abloh’s prolific legacy in the fields of architecture and design, the Brooklyn Museum has put together “Figures of Speech”, an exhibition that offers visitors an unprecedented look into the artist’s work of over nearly two decades. Running from July 1st, 2022 until January 29th, 2023, the artist’s prototypes are presented alongside finished works of art, products, and fashion designs, along with his myriad inspiration, from centuries-old paintings to contemporary signage at construction sites.
