Virgil Abloh Baseball Hat

This rare, brand new (except to try on at the museum store to see if it fits) hat was produced for the artist's major museum exhibition: Virgil Abloh: “Figures of Speech” November 12, 2019 – March 8, 2020, at the High Museum in Atlanta The High presented the first museum exhibition devoted to the work of Virgil Abloh, the modern, genre-bending artist and designer who became creative director of Louis Vuitton’s menswear in 2018. Virgil Abloh: “Figures of Speech” offered an unprecedented survey of Abloh’s creative work over nearly two decades and pulled back the curtain on his process. The exhibition presented prototypes alongside finished artworks, product designs, and fashion to reveal his myriad inspirations—from centuries-old paintings to commonplace construction signs. Running throughout the exhibition was an emphasis on dialogue, which Abloh created through his inventive use of language and quotation marks, turning the objects he designs and the people who wear his clothing into “figures of speech.” The works on view offered an in-depth look at the defining highlights of Abloh’s career, including his recent designs for Louis Vuitton menswear collection, video documentation of his most iconic fashion shows, and his distinctive furniture and graphic design work.
