New York, New York - The Brooklyn Museum in New York is celebrating the life and work of fashion designer Virgil Abloh with an exhibition dedicated to the renowned Louis Vuitton menswear artistic director, who died in November.

The Virgil Abloh: Figures of Speech show is scheduled to open July 1 and display sketches, sculptures, pieces of clothing, and other memorabilia until January 29, 2023, the museum in the borough of Brooklyn announced. Tickets go on sale to the public on March 10.

Abloh's pieces have become prized possessions in the fashion scene and among his celebrity fans, particularly after the designer's death and a series of Nike shoes he designed that fetched $25 million at auction earlier this month.

The planning for the exhibition has been going on for about three years, and Abloh himself had been working on it before his passing, museum director Anne Pasternak said.

The aim is to "celebrate his explosive talent."

The Brooklyn Museum, which opened in 1887, is the second-largest exhibition space in New York and houses natural science and ethnological collections as well as design and art of the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries.

Abloh died in November at the age of 41 after battling a very rare and aggressive form of cancer for more than two years.

He was also known as a DJ and founded his own streetwear brand, Off-White. He had been creative director of the men's line at Louis Vuitton since March 2018.
