Sale of the Golden Toilet
According to The Sun: The golden toilet was sold for an impressive £9 million, which is £1.5 million more than its value in gold.
This true work of modern art, made from 18-carat gold, was purchased by the first bidder, whom Sotheby’s referred to as a representative of a major American brand.
The bidding for the toilet began with a price tag of $10 million (about £7.7 million).
“This toilet is not just an object, but a work of modern art,” noted a Sotheby’s representative.
This sale attracted significant interest, not only among collectors but also in broader circles, as gold has become a new symbol of luxury in the art world. An unusual item like the golden toilet underscores how important innovation and creativity are in contemporary art, where even such strange items gain new life and status.
