Aladdin Sane (2017).
Even if you don’t recognize the name of German artist Michael Moebius, you probably know his work. The artist’s eye-catching depictions of Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe blowing bright pink or blue bubble gum (his signature motif) have been widely reproduced on magazine covers.

The success of these images has sometimes brought legal complications. For several years, the artist has been embroiled in a series of disputes with the English photographer Gavin Evans over alleged similarities between Moebius’s 2017 painting of David Bowie,
Aladdin Sane, and Evans’s 1995 series of photographs of the musician known as “The Session.”
