2019 Supreme MCA Box Logo Tee

In June 2019, Virgil Abloh debuted his “Figures of Speech” Gallery in the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. This marked the first museum exhibition for the late great Virgil.

Raised in Chicago by parents who emigrated from Ghana, Virgil cultivated a deep interest in music, fashion and design. In 2013 Abloh designed the album cover for Kanye Wests “Yeezus” project. Joining a young collective of creatives who quickly emerged as multidisciplinary artists. This would change the landscape of modern day fashion, music and art for years to come. In 2018, Virgil Abloh made history and became the first person of African descent to be rewarded with the position as head Creative Director at Louis Vuitton. The exhibition reflects on both Virgils personal experience, creations and the global evolution of street culture in different facets. The most talked about attraction in this exhibition was a picture of Rap icon and Chicago legend 'Chief Keef' wearing an unknown, unreleased Supreme Box Logo Tee. Chief Keef is one of the most influential figures in Hip Hop and at the forefront of the drill music wave that originated in Chicago. Keef is seen holding up his diamond jewelry while rocking the “MCA Box Logo”. The red, black and green colours are a reference to the Pan-African Flag - a flag designed to represent people of the African Diaspora symbolizing black freedom. Virgil Abloh displayed the t-shirt in a glass case in the Museum of Contemporary Arts during the exhibition. Unfortunately on November 28th 2021 Virgil passed away at 41 from a rare type of cancer. Since the exhibition this piece was never released or seen again. It is believed there are only around 10 - 15 in existence making this one of the most rare Supreme pieces out there.
