Van Gogh....or did they meant a Van Damme ?


"The White House asked last year to borrow Van Gogh’s Landscape With Snow (1888) from the Guggenheim’s permanent collection, to hang in the president’s private quarters. Nancy Spector, the museum’s chief curator, politely declined. But she offered ****** and ******* an alternative: Maurizio Cattelan’s interactive work America, which had recently come off public view at the Guggenheim, and was available for a long-term loan. “It is a solid, 18k gold toilet that was installed in one of our public restrooms for all to use in a wonderful act of generosity"."

Någorlunda at Linnégatan 50

Bairro Alto when changes started....
