Virgil Abloh (Special Edition)

For Abloh, the museum catalogue is another opportunity to “question everything.” This special edition monograph, produced in close collaboration with the artist himself, explores his creative output in a three-book-in-one format. The catalogue section offers an overview of Abloh’s interdisciplinary practice by Michael Darling and features essays and interviews with key voices in art, fashion, design and architecture, including Taiye Selasi, Lou Stoppard, Michael Rock, Samir Bantal, Rem Koolhaas and Anja Aronowsky Cronberg. In the archive section, over 1,800 never-before-seen images drawn from the artist’s personal archives reveal the remarkable breadth of his influences and collaborations. And the index cross-references the catalogue plates—Abloh’s works—with his projects and processes, using a vocabulary of themes developed by Abloh. In addition to the unique packaging, Abloh—founder of fashion brand Off-WhiteTM and men’s artistic director of Louis Vuitton—has created a one-of-a-kind recording, exclusively for this book.
