1/2. To those saying it’s fine that Hunter Biden shows his generic decorative zombie-abstraction art at a commercial gallery & sells it: Imagine if Donald Trump Jr (coke addict) made little watercolors like these & sold them at an iffy commercial gallery for upwards of $150,000.

2/2. Now imagine all the foreign agents, fishy businessmen, lobbyists, politicos buying the work & back room deals. The potential for conflict of interest is enormous & dangerous. Do what Republican war-monger George W. Bush did. Make your work; show it at a non-profit; no sales

Every time Jeb and I hung out— (and we hung out a lot), I always reminded Jeb to remind George that this was the way.

Why is it ok to take up space other artists could occupy at a non-profit wanting to glom on to proximates but it is not ok to sell?

I don’t love that he’s doing this but let’s not pretend that all art is priced purely on it’s artistic merit with little regard to the name attached to the creator. Bob Dylan, Ringo Starr, the list goes on and on.
