Blenheim Palace hit headlines after a stolen gold toilet, worth $6M, was linked to the estate. It’s a massive Oxfordshire mansion, home to the Dukes of Marlborough.
A gold toilet titled 'America' by Maurizio Cattelan sold for $12.1 million at Sotheby’s. The piece, made of 18-karat gold, satirizes wealth and commodity culture. It was stolen from a museum in England in 2019 and is now owned by an anonymous collector. The sale highlights art’s intersection with value and satire.
