He will be remembered and celebrated through his legacy. Virgil’s dedication to his artistry provided new opportunities and equitable pathways in art and design. The Brooklyn Museum staff, along with guest curator Antwaun Sargent, have been privileged over the past few years to collaborate on a new iteration of the exhibition Virgil Abloh: “Figures of Speech”, a traveling survey of Virgil’s trailblazing and expansive creative practice which will open next year at the BkM. We’re incredibly saddened by the news of Virgil Abloh’s passing.
