"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"Sotheby's characterises the piece as an "incisive commentary on the collision of artistic production and commodity value." The sculpture is identical to one that garnered international attention after being stolen in an audacious heist from England's Blenheim Palace in 2019. The auction is scheduled for 18 November in New York, with a starting price reflecting the value of its 101.2 kilograms (223 pounds) of gold currently estimated at around $10 million."
The Independent requests donations to fund reporters and maintain free access to reporting without paywalls. Donations support on-the-ground journalism covering reproductive rights, climate change, Big Tech, investigations into political PAC finances, and documentary work highlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. A solid gold toilet by Maurizio Cattelan titled "America" will be auctioned at Sotheby's in New York on 18 November. The fully functional cistern contains 101.2 kilograms of gold, giving a starting price currently estimated around $10 million, and is described as an incisive commentary on artistic production and commodity value.
