What an unbelievably crass, insulting, and tasteless act on the part of the Guggenheim.

The Guggenheim Museum has reportedly turned down a White House request to borrow a Van Gogh painting, and has instead offered the Trump administration the use of a golden toilet.

And then ran to the media to tell how clever they are.

Of course, if this little stunt happens to result in a burst of contributions, well... who would say no?

Isn’t guggenheim a New York slang expression for toilet?

Trump should borrow it. Then return it to the Guggenheim with a few steamers in it. That will increase it’s artistic value as an “installation”...

Did you see the addition to the Guggenheim? I did that. Didn’t take that long, really,

I’m an architect.

Only anti Americanism and socialism for the Guggenheim! Otherwise you get the golden toilet.

Stupid move by the Guggenheim Museum. President Trump will have 7 years to pay back this insolence.

President Trump should tweet “We asked for a very nice loan of a Van Gogh from the Guggenheim but the offered me an 18-carat gold toilet. Who am I, Obama? They should loan it to Iraq as a tombstone for Saddam Hussain. Not classy! Sad!”

Next time I’m in the mood for lowbrow potty humor, I know where to go.

The Guggenheim.

The fully functioning toilet, titled America, was installed in the Guggenheim in September 2016. It was available for public use, and tens of thousands of people obliged.

Tell me why the kind of people who revel in this sort of filth should be allowed to stay here? Why do they even want to live in the USA.

basturds.

This just burns me. I hope Trump knows some of their biggest donors and makes a few phone calls. This is a stunt worthy of a tabloid, not a museum. I love art, but the art world is dominated by delusional liberal wackos. Where is the dignity that such an institution should exude?
