Sotheby’s to Auction Maurizio Cattelan’s Infamous Gold Toilet “America” — Starting Bid Tied to Gold’s Weight
Sotheby’s will auction Maurizio Cattelan’s 18-karat gold toilet America on November 18 with a starting bid of about $10 million, tied to its weight in gold. The only surviving edition of the notorious sculpture will be displayed—but not used—at Sotheby’s Breuer Building, marking a highlight of the fall auction season.
