The "golden toilet," a solid gold sculpture by Maurizio Cattelan provocatively loaned to Donald Trump, was stolen last night in England. A gang, the BBC reports, broke into Blenheim Palace, a historic residence in Oxfordshire, stealing the work by the Italian conceptual artist, an 18-karat solid gold toilet titled "America." It had been installed in the palace for tourists and visitors, who were also allowed to use it, as it was in working order. For this reason, the theft caused "significant damage and a major water leak," police explained, adding that they arrested a 66-year-old man, but the work was not recovered. The residence chosen for Cattelan's unusual exhibition is an elegant 18th-century building, the birthplace of Winston Churchill and a World Heritage Site. It will remain closed for the rest of the day and will reopen tomorrow. Ironically, just a month ago, Edward Spencer Churchill, half-brother of the current Duke of Marlborough, stated he felt confident about the work's safety, stating, "It won't be the easiest thing to steal." 'America' was first exhibited at the Guggenheim in New York in 2016, but it made headlines again the following year. Donald Trump had asked the museum to lend him a Van Gogh painting, but curator Nancy Spector offered Cattelan's work. She received no response from the White House. According to the museum, the golden toilet bowl recalled the excesses of the tycoon's private residences, although Cattelan never wanted to offer an interpretation of his work, which was conceived before Trump's candidacy.
