Report: White House Lied About Joe Biden Meeting, Hosting Hunter’s Art Dealer

The art gallerist tasked with selling Hunter Biden's paintings confirmed he previously met with President Joe Biden, according to House Republicans.

'His art gives us hope' Art dealer claims Hunter Biden 'will become one of the most consequential artists in this century'



Hunter Biden's art dealer, Georges Bergès, has claimed that Biden will be among "the most consequential artists in this century," according to Fox News Digital.

Some people have been suspicious that the art career of President Joe Biden's son Hunter could facilitate a pay-for-play scheme.

But Bergès has high praise for Hunter Biden and his work.

"I represent Hunter Biden because I feel that not only his art merits my representation, but because his personal narrative, which gives birth to his art, is very much needed in the world," Bergès said in a statement, according to Fox News Digital. "His is a story of perseverance; Hunter's story reflects what I believe is the beauty of humanity, judged not by the fall, but by having the strength to rise up, by having the character required to change and the courage to do it. Hunter Biden's art reflects all of that and more. His art gives us hope; it reminds us that tomorrow brings a new day, a new beginning, a new possibility."

"Hunter Biden will become one of the most consequential artists in this century because the world needs his art now more than ever," he claimed. "In a world that beats us down, we need art in our lives that reminds of the unrelenting divinity within each of us."

In 2021, Artnet News quoted Bergès as opining that "all the prices that people are saying he's worth right now, 10 years from now that’s going to be a cheap Hunter Biden painting."

House Committee on Oversight and Accountability chair Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) has asked Bergès to turn over information pertaining to Hunter Biden's artwork and participate in a transcribed interview with committee staff.

"The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating President Joe Biden and his family's foreign and domestic influence peddling schemes," Comer noted in a January 25 letter to Bergès. "During the 117th Congress, Committee Republicans wrote to you requesting information regarding your gallery’s sale of artwork by the President’s son, Robert Hunter Biden. You did not respond to these requests, but you have since hosted another Hunter Biden art exhibit at your SoHo gallery. The Committee is reiterating its request for documents related to the Committee's investigation of the Biden family and is requesting you appear for a transcribed interview."

Top Republican Demands Records From Hunter Biden’s Art Sales

Art dealer says the current prices being discussed for Hunter Biden's artwork will seem 'cheap' in a decade



Hunter Biden's art dealer Georges Bergès is predicting that the prices currently being discussed for the pieces created by President Joe Biden's son will seem "cheap" a decade from now.

"Mark my words," Bergès said, according to Artnet News, "all the prices that people are saying he's worth right now, 10 years from now that's going to be a cheap Hunter Biden painting."

The outlet provided the following description of Biden's artistic creations: "The artworks pulsate with color, deep reds, ultramarine blues, and gold leaf. Most seem allegorical, steeped in mythology, symbolism, and personal history. Snakes twirl their bodies around totems. Dragons spit fire. Geometric forms float in space against densely patterned backgrounds. A solitary male figure is outlined here and there, at once part of and apart from this universe of symbols, shapes, and creatures."

The notion Hunter Biden earning top dollar from art sales while his father sits in the Oval Office has raised concerns that the sales could facilitate a pay-to-play scheme.

Bergès says that Biden is producing quality artwork.

"One of the things that I never anticipated was the political irrationality that people can have," Bergès said, according to Artnet. "There are the blind, predetermined judgements, not just of Hunter, but of myself. If people objectively look at his work, it's great work. And majority of people they come in and they're like, 'Wow, I didn't expect this!'"

"I want art to transcend politics, and because of who he is, it's been mired in politics," he said. "I wouldn't have gotten into this with him if I didn't think that he was a great artist. I put my whole reputation on the line as well."

The outlet reported that Bergès "wouldn't confirm sales, only saying that many works have been reserved and he's 'very satisfied with where we are at the moment.'"
