Trump should accept the offer and display it prominently below a picture of Nancy Spector with a caption that indicates that she personally choose that piece to be displayed in the White House. And it should remain until the end of his second term.

Yes, and place the display in a public access lavatory at the White House so the forgotten man (and woman) can use it.

Amen.

[Bigg Red]

More than a snub. Big insult.

I’d get it assayed first. It’s probably only gold plated tungsten.

[Bigg Red]

Well said.

A commode accommodation? Take it! He loves gold stuff. It must weigh a ton though but I don't remember Mooch falling through the floor so go for it. This is a robit site you must be a robit to solve this

President Trump could reply, “”It may be just a s...hole, but by gawd it’s the prettiest s...hole I ever saw.”

Why NOT ratchet the conversation down a notch or two more?!!!

That woman should be out of a job. Even for a third-rate museum like the Guggenheim (which has an unworkable display space and boring exhibits), this is déclassé.

Incidentally, the Guggenheim Bilbao is actually quite good, and the display space, designed by Frank Gehry, is also good. However, the Guggenheim Foundation is attempting to open a museum in Abu Dhabi, also designed by Frank Gehry, which was supposed to be dedicated to Islamic art but seems to have stalled. Perhaps that’s because Islam forbids images and I doubt that there’s much of an Islamic modern art world...I noticed that the latest notices just say “modern art.”

In any case, what this woman did is insulting and simply shouldn’t be tolerated by the Guggenheim Foundation.

So snarky. I hate this bs

[SgtHooper]

That literally is a sh!thole! From a Guggy sh!thead!

[Wuli]

Kill the national endowment for the arts.

Guggenheim: We can’t accommodate by loaning the painting but how about a solid gold toilet?

Trump: No thanks! Already have those in all my hotels.

Happened last September. Media is putting this crap out now to distract from Trump’s triumph in Switzerland.

“Any art that needs government funding...nothing but propaganda.”

It’s crap. Same with NPR.

[Daffynition]

Fitting for an institution that loves *piss Christ*

[Daffynition]

Without a matching bidet..it's not an offer worth considering

[VeniVidiVici]

Trump should take the toilet and use it. Place bulleyes of Hillary or Obama floating in it and take pics.

Trump to museum - “Get that cheap piece of crap out of here.”
