Unless you’ve been steering clear of social media (or living under a rock), you’ve likely seen a dizzying number of tributes to fashion, art, and rock icon David Bowie since the announcement of his death on January 10.
It can, of course, be tough to wade through all the bandwagoning behavior online to find the messages and pictures are truly unique and touching. But fear not—we combed through the Instagram accounts of our favorite artists, gallerists, museums, curators, and organizations to find the very best of Bowie.
From Yoko Ono’s note that Bowie was “as close as family” to Ellen von Unwerth’s tribute with her too-cool image of Bowie alongside the legendary Kate Moss, the incredible outpouring of love and memories of the singer-songwriter’s long shadow are definitely worth spending some time with today. See a few of our favorite images below.
