Hunter brushes off critics

- Mara Siegler

Hunter Biden has two words for those who think his artwork is overpriced: “F--k ’em.”

Eleven paintings by the president’s son are being shown by the George Bergès Gallery, which has estimated the works at $75,000 to $500,000.

According to The Washington Post, White House officials helped draft a document to keep purchasers confidenti­al, including from Hunter Biden, to stave off efforts to curry favor with the administra­tion.

When asked during an appearance on the art-worldfave podcast “Note Bene” about his response to the hubbub and headlines over the prices and potential favor-seeking collectors, Biden quips, “Other than f--k ’em?”

Biden tells the hosts, Vanity Fair art columnist Nate Freeman and Curatorial Services founder Benjamin Godsill: “I never said what my art was going to cost or how much it would be priced at. I’d be amazed if my art had sold for $10, just because the first time you ever go about it is the idea someone is attracted to your art, let alone that they would pay something for it.”

Biden is also aware his work will be widely seen, joking that he has gotten to “share it with the entire viewing audience of Fox News, OAN and Newsmax.”
