New York Magazine Senior Art Critic, and perpetual “man about town” Jerry Saltz always has something to say about everything from emerging net artists to medieval torture porn. Today he turns 65, marking the occasion on his controversial Instagram page with a totally cosmic cosmic 700-year-old painting of a vagina. Does that make it a 700-year-old vagina? We couldn’t not circulate it this week.

“We all have second selves,” Saltz said late last year, explaining his Instagram in a talk at the 92nd Street Y. “My second self is this wild character on Instagram who I love watching. It takes me three seconds to find these images, between paragraphs. I’m writing hysterically, I get a little too much tension—and I might just have a thought, like ‘beheadings, medieval,’ and I hit images. One image leads me to another and I see a great image, I put it on with a ridiculous caption because I’m nervous, and next thing I know I’m in the Land of Like. And so happy. And it lasts five or seven minutes and then there’s so many other pictures that nobody ever sees it again. And it’s like your genius is gone, and I love that… But art it is not, it is what ever it is.”

Below, we’ve highlighted some of his most loved and loathed posts from 2015. Consider this a petition for another 65 years before he’s allowed to retire.
