The younger Biden\u2019s abstract paintings and collages, which sometimes resemble bacteria under a microscope, and sometimes depict human body parts, were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/hunter-bidens-weird-artwork-to-get-nyc-exhibition-expected-to-fetch-1-million\">initially set<\/a> to sell for $75,000 for works on paper and $500,000 for large paintings, but that number has increased.<\/p>\n<p>He was accompanied at the Los Angeles show by his wife, Melissa, and two of his daughters, Naomi Biden, 27, and Maisy Biden, 20, the Daily Mail reported.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, the top Republican on the House Oversight Committee <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/top-oversight-republican-demands-hunter-bidens-art-dealer-detail-ethics-rules\">demanded<\/a> that the gallery owner showcasing Biden\u2019s art detail what ethics measures he is taking to prevent buyers from gaining illicit influence with the White House.<\/p>\n<p>\u200b\u201d\u200bThis investigation, which includes your gallery\u2019s role\u200b \u200bin Mr. Biden\u2019s plans, is meant to prevent fairly obvious opportunities for an ethical or national security breach\u200b,\u201d Rep.
