70 years old (Born on January 21, 1955)
Happy birthday, Jeff Koons! Another year older and still making balloon animals way cooler than any clown ever could. If mastering stainless steel bunnies was an Olympic sport, you'd be holding gold medals instead of art shows.From crafting giant flower puppies to redefining everyday objects into mesmerizing masterpieces, you've turned the mundane magical—making vacuum cleaners gallery-worthy since day one! Your ability to spark curiosity never ceases; let's face it, only you can make inflatable lobsters seem profound.
Here's wishing another sensational year filled with even bigger sculptures—and fewer confused museum-goers whispering "Is that art?" (Hint: It always is!)
