Guggenheim Museum Offered Trump Gold Toilet for White House | Time
Personally i think he should have taken the offer as it would fit right in at the present white house.
Donald and Melania Trump wanted to borrow a Van Gogh painting from a New York museum for their White House private quarters. Instead, The Washington Post reports , the Guggenheim Museum’s chief curator came up with a pointedly satirical counter-offer: a working solid-gold toilet made by an Italian artist.
The first couple had asked for Van Gogh’s “Landscape With Snow,” featuring a man and his dog.
She emailed the White House Office of the Curator in September to say that the Trumps could borrow the toilet installation used by visitors in a museum restroom until mid-September. The 18-karat toilet , titled “America,” is Maurizio Cattelan’s jab at the nation’s greedier instincts. It has an estimated value topping $1 million.
The Post said the White House has stayed silent on the subject.
