A shiny toilet made of 18-karat gold went on sale in New York on Nov. 18! Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan created the artwork, called “America,” which weighs more than 100 kilograms and looks like a real toilet. It was displayed in the bathroom of Sotheby’s auction house before the sale, though no one could actually use it. The first version was stolen in England in 2019 and never found.
