An 18-karat gold toilet titled "America" is set to be auctioned in New York, with bids starting around $10 million. Created by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan, the fully functional sculpture is both a luxury item and a satirical artwork. The only remaining version, following a high-profile theft in the UK, will be on display at Sotheby’s, highlighting the tension between commodity and artistic worth.
