The mystery has swirled through the art world for nearly a decade: Who bought th
at weird toilet designed by an artist?
这个谜团在艺术界流传了将近十年:究竟是谁买下那个由艺术家设计的怪马桶?
And not just any toilet — one made from 100 kilograms of solid gold, 18-karat.
It even works, if you call a plumber for the hookup.
而且不只是普通的马桶——而是一个以100 公斤、18K 纯金打造的马桶,只要请水电工来接
管线,它甚至真的能正常使用。
It turns out that one of the wealthiest men in America has owned it the whole ti
me: Steve Cohen, the billionaire financier who also owns the New York Mets.
结果发现,这座金马桶其实一直都在全美最富有的人之一手中:亿万富翁金融家、同时也是
纽约大都会队老板的Steve Cohen
Cohen is reported to have bought the gold toilet, created as a sculpture by the
conceptual artist Maurizio Cattelan, from an art gallery in 2017. On Nov. 18, it
will be coming to auction, with bidding to start at about $10 million. Five exp
erts with knowledge of the deal, who requested anonymity to discuss a private bu
siness matter, said Cohen was the consignor.
