The gold toilet at the Guggenheim will be removed on September 15th
This won't be the first time I've waited in line to see a shit-ton of gold. I did it back in 2013 when Chris Burden's gold bar installation was at the New Museum.
Maurizio Cattelan's solid-gold toilet will be removed from the Guggenheim on September 15th. On Saturday, it's pay-what-you-wish from 5:45-7:15pm.
Crushing a $40,000 gold bar in a hydraulic press
Pretty neat video actually. And do yourself a favor and don't read the YouTube video comments. Idiots claiming this is no longer worth $40,000... -_-
