It’s good to be Hunter Biden these days. You can sell what he calls “art” blown from what looks like a crack pipe for as much as $500,000 and the media sees nothing wrong with it. However, if you ask art critics, or even art professors like John Ploff an Art professor from Art Institute of Chicago about Hunter Biden “art”, they speak the truth about it. It’s overprice, it’s basically a Biden campaign contribution and no one should take it seriously. Thanks for at least being honest Professor Ploff.
“You’re paying for the brush with fame,” JOHN PLOFF, an art professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, said. “That’s like a campaign contribution, right?”
In an effort to protect against conflict of interest, the White House says there is an agreement in place with the gallery that will keep the art buyers’ identities a secret from Hunter, the president, the White House and the public. They did not have anything further to add for this piece.
“In the case of anyone who has a celebrity name outside of art, as with Hunter Biden, it’s clearly the name of the artist that’s driving the price and if it sells, then that’s probably also the motivating factor for the person who buys it,” said TABISH KHAN, a London art critic.
Khan said he wouldn’t critique work he hasn’t seen in person, with limited knowledge of the work, but, “an initial online glance suggests there’s nothing new or challenging about his work.”
“As to whether I think it’s worth the asking price, I don’t think I’ll ever spend that much money on a work of art nor be in a position where I have that amount of cash in hand,” Khan said. “And if I did, I wouldn’t spend it on a work by Hunter Biden.”
