Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on February 16, 1947)

Happy Birthday, Franz West! May your day be as delightfully quirky and thought-provoking as "The Ego and the Id." Your sculptures have always challenged our minds—and occasionally tripped us up in galleries. Winning the Otto Mauer-Preis back in 1986 was just proof that even serious art critics appreciate a good laugh (and some existential pondering).

Here's to you—master of playful forms, champion of artistic wit. Whether we're contemplating identity or simply wondering how on earth you came up with such brilliant creations, you've given us endless reasons to smile thoughtfully.

Cheers to another year sculpting humor into timeless masterpieces!
