Steyn: $500K can get you a Renoir, Picasso, or a Hunter Biden; 'a better racket than the Clinton Foundation'

Author and columnist Mark Steyn, hosting "Fox News Primetime" on Thursday, remarked that many classic art pieces can easily fetch $500,000 at auction, but that some lesser pieces can now also be purchased for that lofty amount.
"Have you got half a million bucks to spare for a painting position go over your mantelpiece? There are bargains galore to be had out there," Steyn said. He pointed to a circa-1600 portrait of Suleiman the Magnificent, the longest-ruling Ottoman sultan, recently selling for less than $500,000 at Sotheby's of London. Di Bicci's painting of St. Catherine of Alexandria and the Six Virtues of Christ the Redeemer fetched a similar amount, Steyn reported.More Related News
