MEISSEN X Michael Moebius Bust Marilyn Diamonds

This high-quality Marilyn Monroe bust was traditionally handcrafted in the MEISSN porcelain manufactory. It is also adorned with a bubble gum bubble, handmade and mouth-blown by the renowned MOSER Glas Manufaktur from Karlsbad. On the back of the bust, the icon can be seen in a pink evening dress - true to the motto "Diamonds are a girl's best friend" - surrounded by her male admirers.
The work of art was brought to life by the talented MEISSEN sculptor Maximilian Hagstotz. He worked on the bust for over a year, from the initial modeling in clay to the finished porcelain figure. Exclusively handcrafted, each bust is one of a kind thanks to its unique design on the back.
Michael Moebius Bubblegum series featuring icons such as Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn skillfully mixes realism with a playful touch. What makes these works so special is that, like the Mona Lisa or the statue of David, they have become the most reproduced images in the world and the series has set a significant milestone in the field of copyright law. Moebius' work led to a groundbreaking precedent-setting ruling that set a new standard for how art is protected and respected in the face of widespread counterfeiting. He is the first artist in the world to win over 100 million US dollars in a monumental lawsuit against hundreds of foreign companies that infringed his copyright. This success underscores the wide appeal of the series, but also Moebius' role in shaping the conversation about copyright and creativity in art worldwide.
