Hunter Biden leaves NYC as gallery cancels plan to let the public see his paintings
NY Post ^ | 11/11/2021 | Kevin Sheehan and Bruce Golding

Hunter Biden checked out of a Manhattan hotel Thursday following a party to celebrate his solo art show — as controversy over the $500,000 price tags on some of his paintings apparently killed a plan to open the exhibit to the public.

The first son didn’t comment as he and wife Melissa Cohen — both wearing red outfits — left the Greenwich Hotel with their 1-1/2-year-old son, Beau, shortly before noon.

The night before, the novice, self-taught artist joined about 60 guests — including President Biden’s sister, Valerie Biden Owens — at the Georges Berges Gallery in Soho, where Hunter Biden’s show, “The Journey Home,” opened on Oct. 23 by appointment only.

Money laundering and bribes in plain site. Absolutely no surprise. RATs being RATs.

The are worth $500 grand, but he is reluctant to show these jewels of Western Civilization to the public. I wonder why...

There’s enough laundry being done to keep the Tide factory working 24/7 for a decade.

“Money laundering and bribes in plain site. Absolutely no surprise. RATs being RATs.”

Well, the big problem is proving it, right? Same with book deals, “speakers’ fees”.

They don’t really care if it “looks bad” anymore. I’m thinking that Biden won’t be running for re-election.

Be interesting to see the “marks”.

How is the pole dancer’s child doing? Has she left Joe alone with the child?

Perfectly understandable that a visionary like Hunter commands a half million a pop, vs some rank amateur like Alex Venezia whose paintings are lucky to go for a few hundred. I mean one is an obvious master of the medium.

If they were that valley bowl, you would think he would want the world to see how great artist you are, right? That is, unless the only intent is To launder money to daddy.

The successful bidders can pick up their paintings in person from the Oval Office of the White House.

Such valuable art and now we, the common public, will be barred from seeing it. /s

Puts us down.

I think autodidactic artists are rare in this world of universities, galleries and sponsored showings. Hunter must be a quick study along with having a lot of talent.

Or he is a cheap con artist onto another way to fleece victims for money. I think the latter.

As a grand display of compassionate caring all of the art work has been taken off sale and the paintings will be given to t illegal immigrants who “LOST THEIR CHILD”, by direction of the resident. /s
