A statue of a naked Donald Trump is going on the auction block.
Julien’s Auction says the sculpture is the last statue remaining that was not vandalized or destroyed when it was displayed along with others in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Cleveland in the weeks before the Republican was elected president.
The auction will take place on May 2 at Mana Contemporary in Jersey City.
The auction house estimates the statue, which was created by the West Coast anarchist collective INDECLINE, will sell for $ 20,000 to $ 30,000.
One of these “Naked Trump” statues appeared on a warehouse rooftop in Jersey City in September 2016, but was reported stolen five days later.
A 40-year-old man who reported the theft on behalf of Mana Contemporary — which owned the building near the Holland Tunnel — said surveillance video showed a man climbing the fire escape to the building at about 11:30 p.m. on Sept. 18, 2016, police said.
The suspect was described as being about 5-foot-10 with a tattoo on his upper arm. He spent nearly four hours lowering the statue along the east side of the building with a rope and tackle set, a police report indicated.
