A paranormal investigator who bought a nude statue of U.S President, Donald Trump, at an auction is set to display it at a Haunted Museum.
On Wednesday Julien’s Auctions, celebrity auctioneer declared that it sold the artwork believed to be the last of the controversial statues not vandalised or destroyed – for $28,000 at its biannual auction in Los Angeles, reports AFP.
The infamous statue by a West Coast anarchist collective is one of a series depicting the 45th president in the nude but without testicles.
In August 2016, in the build-up to the election, the statues appeared in public spaces in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Seattle and Cleveland, garnering international attention.
The four other naked Trumps – titled “The Emperor Has No Balls” were confiscated or destroyed.
The sole surviving copy was rescued by La Luz de Jesus Gallery on Hollywood Boulevard before it could be taken and melted down.
Buyer Zak Bagans – a paranormal investigator and American television personality – intends to put the fleshy Trump on show at his Haunted Museum in Las Vegas, according to a statement from Julien’s.
