A trove of nearly 200 artworks by Hunter Biden has been destroyed — one of 
the casualties of the wildfires ravaging Los Angeles, The Post has 
learned.

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

Morris, who loaned the first son nearly $5 million to help pay a tax bill 
and has been financing a documentary on him, lives in a sprawling five-
bedroom, six-bathroom home which is among the few houses still intact in 
the posh neighborhood, The Post can confirm.

Morris could not be reached for comment Wednesday.

Last week, as the fires began to rage, President Biden said his son’s home 
in nearby Malibu may still be intact. “Today, it appears that it’s still 
standing. They’re not sure.”

A lawyer for Hunter Biden, who is a self-taught artist who turned to 
painting while in recovery from drug addiction, did not immediately return 
a request for comment.

A Soho gallerist who represented the first son’s work and had organized 
solo shows of his paintings in Los Angeles and New York from 2021 said he 
broke ties with Hunter last year.

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

Hunter’s art pieces have been priced as high as $500,000 each, although 
Berges told The Post the average price was closer to $85,000.

Morris bought $875,000 worth of Hunter’s artworks via Berges, many of them 
of flowers 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 art, despite 
assurances from the White House that buyers would be kept secret to avoid 
a conflict of interest with the president.

In addition to Morris, Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali was named as another buyer. 
She obtained works before and after scoring a prestigious presidential 
appointment, according to reports.

Hunter Biden was issued a controversial pardon by his father on gun and 
tax evasion crimes last month.
