Here's an article from the NYT about how they are trying to ethically sell Hunter Biden's artwork. "Ethically sell" was a term I chose specifically because Hunter Biden is not an artist, and the question of why his paintings are being sold for half a million dollars and to whom is substance.

Edit: Anyone can be an artist of course. Selling artwork for such a price would be quite an artist.

Quite an artist indeed. Here is a Picasso that sold last month for $150,000.
