“Despite being born with a silver spoon in my mouth I have never had a s***t on a golden toilet, so I look forward to it,” said Edward Spencer-Churchill.
A functioning solid gold toilet is set to grace a bathroom in Blenheim Palace in England, the ancestral home and birthplace of late British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
Guggenheim chief curator Nancy Spector famously offered the toilet to President Donald Trump, after he asked to borrow a Vincent Van Gogh painting for the White House. Spector called the artwork “a cipher for the excesses of affluence,” in a Guggenheim blog post dated August 17, 2017. “Cattelan’s ‘America’...is at once humorous and searing in its critique of our current realities. Though crafted from millions of dollars’ worth of gold, the sculpture is actually a great leveler. As Cattelan has said, ‘Whatever you eat, a two-hundred-dollar lunch or a two-dollar hot dog, the results are the same, toilet-wise'," she continued.
