Virgil Abloh: Figures of Speech
Published to accompany the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago's landmark exhibition, this monograph documents Virgil Abloh's practice as something that resists easy categorization. He worked across fashion, architecture, furniture, and music, treating each discipline as a conversation rather than a destination.
Central to his method was language itself. Abloh's signature use of quotation marks reframed familiar objects, asking viewers to reconsider what a word, a garment, or a chair could mean when held at a slight critical distance. Design became a form of speech, and speech became form.
- Published by the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago
- Documents Abloh's cross-disciplinary body of work
- Explores the philosophy of language as design methodology
- Contributions from collaborators, critics, and cultural voices
