It’s been a busy May for Shohei Shigematsu and OMA New York. Earlier in the month, the OMA-designed renovation of Sotheby's New York headquarters opened to the public. Just last week, the firm’s exhibition design for Dior: From Paris to the World, opened at the Dallas Museum of Art, and OMA was named the winner of the competition for the University of Illinois at Chicago’s Center for the Arts.
