A solid gold toilet, Maurizio Cattelan's satirical artwork 'America,' fetched $12.1 million at Sotheby's New York. This 18-karat, fully functional sculpture, weighing over 220 pounds, previously gained fame at the Guggenheim and was famously offered to President Trump. The piece, a commentary on wealth, has a history including a dramatic heist where another edition was stolen and likely melted down.
