18-Karat Throne Arrives At Guggenheim Museum New York
Read Time:30 Second
The throne has arrived.
The long-planned participatory (shall we say) sculpture by the Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan — a fully functional, solid 18-karat-gold copy of a Kohler toilet, an over-the-top apotheosis of wealth.
It was installed in the humble restroom on the fifth-floor ramp of the Solomon R.Guggenheim Museum late last week and will be open for business to anyone with the urge on Friday.
The sculpture was supposed to have arrived months earlier, but it turned out that molding and welding together that much gold was far trickier than anyone anticipated.
