Hunter Biden part of an abstract show with notable artists

Hunter Biden is back in the Big Apple as his latest work is featured in a New York exhibition alongside some of the art world’s most renowned abstract painters.

“Bridging the Abstract”, a group exhibition opening on April 6th at Georges Bergits Gallery in Soho, includes some of the first son’s most recent works, alongside paintings by Elaine de Kooning and Helen Frankenthaler.

Biden, 53, will be present at the opening, a source told the Post Saturday, amid the ongoing investigation by a Republican-led House of Representatives committee investigating the Biden family’s business dealings over alleged tax fraud, money laundering and violations of lobbying laws.

In recent months, investigators have been demanding details of collectors who paid for Hunter’s art, which is valued at between $75,000 and $500,000.

They sent two letters to William Pittard, the mountainits Gallery in Washington, DC, Attorney seeks answers.

Other painters featured in Bridging the Abstract include Todd Williamson, a Los Angeles-based contemporary painter, and Hisako Kobayashi, a Japanese-born artist living in the East Village.

Frankenthaler, an American abstract expressionist painter, died in Connecticut in 2011.

Elaine de Kooning, a landscape and portrait artist, was married to Willem de Kooning, the Dutch-American abstract expressionist painter.

In a second letter sent to Pittard earlier this month, the committee pressed for the identities of past buyers of Hunter’s art.

Now, in the March 24 response seen by The Post on Tuesday, Pittard wrote that Berg should correct the committee’s “inaccuracies.”its is obstructing the investigation by refusing to name the buyers.

The recent letter suggests that drawing Bergits into the investigation into the Biden family’s finances could constitute a “constitutional exaggeration.”

“Mr. Berges has not refused to respond or cooperate,” Pittard writes, adding that the committee should seek a response from Biden and his attorney, Abbe David Lowell, in order to articulate “a reasonable way forward.”
