Let's make this birthday one to remember.

86 years old (Born on September 27, 1938)

Happy Birthday, Gunter Brus! May your celebration be as bold and unforgettable as your groundbreaking performances—though perhaps with fewer shocked spectators this time around. Your fearless creativity has always pushed boundaries, making you the undisputed master of turning controversy into art.

From co-founding Viennese Actionism to becoming a leading figure in NO!Art—and even snagging Austria's prestigious Grand State Prize—you've consistently challenged norms while inspiring generations. Here's hoping today's festivities involve less paint splatter but just enough artistic chaos to remind everyone why you're legendary. Cheers to another year of defying expectations and keeping us all wonderfully uncomfortable!
