It was a family affair Wednesday when Hunter Biden finally showed up at the
Manhattan art gallery where his novice paintings are being offered for up to
$500,000 each amid concerns about influence-peddling by the president’s son.
Biden, 51, carried his 1-1/2-year-old son Beau on his shoulders as he, wife
Melissa Cohen and daughter Maisy Biden were escorted by owner George Berges into
his eponymous Soho storefront for a party more than two weeks after the
exhibition opened to a mere trickle of prospective buyers.
About 60 guests gathered for the belated event, including President Biden’s
younger sister, Valerie Biden Owens, and reality TV star Meghan King of The Real
Housewives of Orange County.
But the festivities took place behind curtains that covered the windows and two
Secret Service agents, a team of private security guards and a K-9 stood guard
outside.
Earlier in the day, The Post saw the delivery of food from the D’Artagnan
poultry company along with an array of soft drinks — but no booze for the party
celebrating the new career of Hunter Biden, who’s acknowledged repeated
struggles with drug and alcohol addictions.

Upon leaving the party, Owens declared her nephew’s artwork “spectacular” and
art critic Donald Kuspit said of Hunter Biden, “He’s a serious artist. The work
is terrific.”
But Kuspit, who recently reviewed Hunter Biden’s work in Whitehot Magazine, said
the self-taught painter didn’t ring up any sales during the opening.
“It really had nothing to do with money. It was just a social event,” he said.
Hunter Biden, who wore dark blue jeans and a forest green shirt-style jacket,
left around 9 p.m. and got defensive when The Post asked whether he’d gotten
back his infamous laptop computer since it was seized by the FBI after being
left at a Delaware repair shop in April 2019.
“There’s always a smart-ass in the bunch,” he snarked after initially flashing a
tight grim.
Cohen, who wore a full-length, military green leather coat and a long black
leather skirt with a dangerously high slit in the front, then jokingly chimed
in, “It doesn’t exist.”
That claim belied her hubby’s admission earlier this year that the abandoned
hardware “certainly” could be his.

In October 2019, The Post exclusively revealed that a hard drive holding the
contents of the computer contained a trove of emails detailing Hunter Biden’s
controversial overseas business dealings, as well as explicit photos and videos.
One especially raunchy video appeared to show him smoking crack while engaged in
a sex act with an unidentified woman.
Hunter Biden has since revealed that he’s under investigation for possible tax
fraud and he told “CBS This Morning” in April that he had no plans to strike a
plea deal.
Wednesday’s party followed Biden’s debut in Los Angeles last month, where the
guests included boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard, who posed for photos bumping
fists with the first son.

Other attendees at the Hollywood show included Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti —
the president’s nominee to be ambassador to India — as well as musician Moby and
artist Shepard Fairey, who created the iconic “Hope” poster for Barack Obama’s
2008 presidential campaign.

The White House has said that the identities of any buyers of Hunter Biden’s art
will be kept secret to prevent them from holding sway over President Biden’s
administration — claim that’s been widely derided by experts including Walter
Shaub, who ran the Office of Government Ethics under then-President Barack
Obama.
“There is no ethics program in the world that can be built around the head of
state’s staff working with a dealer to keep the public in the dark about the
identities of individuals who pay vast sums to the leader’s family member for
subjectively priced items of no intrinsic value,” Shaub tweeted last month.
“If this were [Donald] Trump, Xi [Jinping] or [Vladimir] Putin, you’d have no
doubt whatsoever that this creates a vehicle for funneling cash to the first
family in exchange for access or favors. Nor would you doubt that the appearance
of monetizing the presidency was outrageous.”

reported that five of the first son’s prints had sold for $75,000 apiece.
