Hunter Biden has sold more than $1.5 million in artwork, thanks largely to purchases from two donors to his father, President Joe Biden, according to the first son’s former gallerist.
George Berges told House investigators in closed-door testimony last week that a majority of the sales from Hunter Biden’s artwork came from these two buyers, according to a transcript reviewed by the Washington Examiner.
Berges said that Elizabeth Naftali spent nearly $100,000 on two pieces of Hunter Biden’s artwork. She purchased her first piece on Feb. 17, 2021, shortly after Joe Biden took office, and, less than five months later, was appointed by Joe Biden to a plum position on a little-known but prestigious panel called the U.S. Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad. She purchased the second piece in December that year.
Kevin Morris, an entertainment lawyer, spent $875,000 on Hunter Biden’s art, purchasing it from Berges over the phone through an entity called Kuliaky Art on Jan. 19, 2023, according to Berges.
Naftali and Morris are both prominent Democratic donors and each contributed thousands toward electing Joe Biden in 2020, according to federal election data.
