car720 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 I actually hope the thief gets away with it. With all the people in the world that don't know where their next meal is coming from and these ostentatious people do this. Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil B Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 It is all a mistake... It has been borrowed and installed for the use of the PM in the Elizabeth Tower (formally the Clock Tower or St Stephen's Tower). Quote Both the House of Commons and House of Lords have the power, in theory, to imprison someone for contempt. In the 18th and early 19th Centuries it was a regular punishment for someone to be committed to the custody of the Serjeant at Arms or to prison.

KKr Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 a copy of a ceramic toilet bowl in a shiny metal in a white colored washroom is called a piece of Art ? why? That Sculptor must have some wealthy sponsors cum "supporters" of his auctions. Not art where I come from. if it needs a stunt like that to attract visitors, apparently the Guggenheim going down the drain since I last visited.

(being a cynic, I do wonder whether the artist violated the inflatable doll rabbit producer's copyrights.) Creating Art is for most Artists an obsession that, if at all, barely pays the bills or even the materials. (Not saying that it should because a lot of it, in the opinion of some, is rubbish.)

neeray Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 In the late-19th century, a London plumbing impresario named Thomas Crapper manufactured one of the first widely successful lines of flush toilets. Crapper did not invent the toilet, but he did develop the ballcock, an improved tank-filling mechanism still used in toilets today. (Wikipedia) I think Thomas would have a good chuckle about the "golden throne". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was on loan to Blenheim Palace, so guess the insurance is covered by the gallery which owns it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scandalous, at that time. The golden potty builds on that theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The toilet actually represents reality, what goes in represents the artists and those of his ilk. They could flush Emin down it first. That would certainly improve her face.
