Hunter Biden has sold at least five prints of his artwork for $75,000 each as a team of lawyers works to vet people who plan to attend his spring gallery show in New York City.
The prints were sold from Georges Berges Gallery in Los Angeles before the Oct. 1 opening of his pop-up presentation.
It is unclear which reproductions were sold or if any other works were sold once the LA show opened. The buyers also remain a secret.
However, a source familiar with the sale told the New York Post that 'most of those allowed to buy works are long-term, private collectors with the gallery, people that Berges knows personally'.
The sales come as Biden remains under scrutiny over the ethics of his art dealings.
Video and photos exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com show Biden and his gallery manager Georges Bergès entertaining around 200 people at the famous Milk studios in Hollywood on Friday, including his wife Melissa and two of his daughters, 27-year-old Naomi Biden and Maisy Biden, 20.
Around 200 invites for the tightly-policed event went to a host of Los Angeles glitterati and potential buyers of Hunter's art, the prices for which range between $75,000 and $500,000.

Crackhead turned renowned artist!
Looks like ‘art’ is the new ‘book deal’.
Both are payola.
I want to see Hunter paint one for real. By himself.
Laundering money in plain sight.
The demoncraps have no consequences, and they now don’t care about elections.
Things will continue to slide downhill. Get used to a Soviet existence.
You have the mentality of a loser. If everyone thought like you this country would never have been created.
Your attack statement doesn’t even make sense.
So candor is a loser mentality. Didn’t know that. It is an accurate portrayal of where we are. The Holy Spirit has been pulled back. We’ve been given over to our reprobate minds.
You’re right. This is probably a smarter model than the book deals because nobody has to pretend that the product has mass appeal because fine art has always been about the elite market, and artwork is a perfect vehicle for money laundering.
Oh, just bite me.
.... not TOO long after I penned THIS:
He can just bite me.
You have the mentality of somebody who doesn’t know how to read the tea leaves. There are many of us who have been around for many decades on this site that do not see a future for the United States because of the absolute moral decline that has allowed this political situation to arise. The only cure for any of this is a genuine biblical Revival. The cure to this country is not putting a particular person in the white house or in your Congressional or Senate representation. We are a morally bankrupt nation and we are now reaping what we have sown and it will get worse. If you honestly do not see that coming, then maybe you’re just not emotionally and mentally mature enough or you’re not historically aware of how countries Fall because it’s happening right in front of your very eyes.
Thing I wonder about is that there is also an influence peddling aspect to this, because all those well-heeled people shelling out all that moola also get to display this object, and if they have to go through a screening process just to buy a print, doesn’t that mean that having been cleared to buy this object means they are officially approved of and have some sort of stamp of approval? Its all a bit scarier than Banksy with his shredded piece.
Of course it’s influence-peddling.
What ever happened to the “poor starving artist” stereotype.
Mask problem?
Yes, there could be “ghost painters.”
Didn’t Ivanka divest from her clothing company and his sons from the family business? Trump never even took a paycheck. Crooked Hunter and family should all go to jail.
I am well aware of what is happening. I also know a defeatist attitude when I see one and as the saying goes, quitters never win.
As for your solution being in our faith? The helps those who help themselves so sitting around whining about what is happening is both pathetic and counter productive which just may be what your kind wants.
I’ll stand by what I said.
