Let's make this birthday one to remember.

74 years old (Born on March 19, 1951)

Happy Birthday, Jerry Saltz! May your day be as vibrant and provocative as the art you critique. From dissecting masterpieces to judging aspiring artists on "Work of Art," you've shown us that criticism can indeed be an entertaining spectator sport—worthy of popcorn and applause.

Your sharp wit, fearless opinions, and three Pulitzer Prize nominations prove you're not just a critic; you're practically performance art yourself. Here's hoping this year brings even more brilliant insights (and perhaps fewer Twitter feuds). Keep inspiring us all with your humor-filled wisdom—we can't wait for your next masterpiece review or hilarious Instagram post!
