Destroyed by the fires of Los Angeles, the artworks of Hunter Biden

A collection of nearly 200 artworks by Hunter Biden has been destroyed, one of the victims of the fires ravaging Los Angeles, The Post has learned.

The controversial artworks had been stored near the home in Pacific Palisades of Hunter’s attorney in Hollywood, Kevin Morris, and are valued at “millions of dollars,” a source close to the Biden family said.

Morris, who lent the president’s son nearly $5 million to pay a tax bill and is financing a documentary about him, lives in a large house with five bedrooms and six bathrooms, which is one of the few homes that have remained untouched in the luxurious neighborhood, The Post can confirm.

Last week, as the fires began to spread, President Biden said that his son’s house in Malibu, near the area, may still be standing. “Today, it looks like it’s still there. It’s not certain.”

A gallery owner in Soho, who represented the president’s son’s work and had organized his solo exhibitions in Los Angeles and New York since 2021, said he severed ties with Hunter last year.

“I don’t know what’s happening with the artworks,” said gallery owner Georges Berges. “I have some of his works on canvas, some metal pieces in the gallery.”

Hunter’s artworks have been valued up to $500,000 each, although Berges told The Post that the average price was closer to $85,000.

Morris bought $875,000 worth of Hunter’s artwork through Berges, many of them flowers made on Japanese paper, he said. Berges told a congressional panel investigating the Biden family’s assets last year that Hunter knew the people who bought most of his artwork, despite assurances from the White House that buyers would remain confidential to avoid a conflict of interest with the president.

In addition to Morris, Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali was named as another buyer. She secured pieces both before and after receiving a prestigious presidential appointment, according to reports.

Hunter Biden received a controversial pardon from his father last month for crimes related to firearms and tax evasion.
