One of the naked Donald Trump statues that were erected across America by street art collective INDECLINE is to sell at Julien's Auctions.
It's set to be one of the highlights of the October 22 Street Art & Contemporary Art Fall Auction.
 Trump is the first presidential nominee to have been immortalised as a naked statue |
Titled The Emperor Has No Balls, the statue is an unflattering depiction of the divisive Republican nominee.
A spokesperson for INDECLINE told the Washington Post: "Like it or not, Trump is a larger-than-life figure in world culture at the moment.
"Looking back in history, that's how those figures were memorialized and idolized in their time — with statues."
This one was placed on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles and is the last survivor of the five made.
It was taken off the street by the proprietors of La Luz de Jesus Gallery.
All of the others were removed by park or city authorities and destroyed soon after they were deployed on August 18.
Sam Biderman of the New York City Parks Department clarified his organisation's stance in a memorable statement: "NYC Parks stands firmly against any unpermitted erection in city parks, no matter how small."
It's expected to make around $10,000-20,000.
A percentage of the proceeds from the sale will go to the National Immigration Forum.
