Hunter Biden, the newest artist on the block, is already seeing his paintings sell more than some of Pablo Picasso’s works – an artist that’s a household name and actually produced decent art.
While he doesn’t have much experience, Hunter does bear the Biden surname, which is itself enough to make his scribblings worth tens to hundreds of thousands.
Some of Hunter Biden’s paintings are more expensive than Pablo Picasso’s, New York Post columnist Miranda Devine reported.
“You can buy a Picasso, a signed Picasso, for $400,000, which is cheaper than Hunter Biden’s $500,000 paintings,” she said. “So I think possibly that the people who are paying insane prices for Hunter Biden paintings are not really doing it for the art.”
Devine told Tucker Carlson she was turned away from Biden’s Soho art show for not having an appointment despite her email to make one with gallery owner Georges Berges going unanswered. After being denied entry, she “went across the road” to the Martin Lawrence Galleries where she discovered paintings by Roy Lichtenstein and Picasso, the latter of whose work she found to be less costly than Biden’s.
This comes after the White House has effectively expressed zero concern over Hunter’s shady art sales, with Psaki freely admitting to reporters that she has no idea who is buying his paintings – but did add that Joe Biden is “proud of his son.” Only one person on the left seems to have publicly condemned the sales, Obama’s former ethics czar Walter Shaub.
Of course, we can all imagine the reaction we’d see if Donald Trump Jr. suddenly took up painting and began selling his works for top dollar. Fortunately for Hunter, he’s on the same team as the media and the rest of the establishment.
