Let's make this birthday one to remember.

83 years old (Born on September 27, 1941)

Happy Birthday, Joel Shapiro! May your day be as dynamic and perfectly balanced as your iconic sculptures. You've shown us all that rectangles aren't just shapes—they're dancers frozen mid-leap, gymnasts defying gravity, and sometimes even a playful puzzle teasing our imagination. Your Untitled masterpiece at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston continues to captivate visitors who marvel at how simplicity can evoke such joyful complexity.

Here's wishing you another year filled with creativity, inspiration, and perhaps a few more rectangles (or squares?) to keep us guessing. Keep sculpting joy into our lives—one geometric shape at a time!
