The couple has a taste solely for the works of the market-friendly art star Court Painter, but lawyers say it’s just for decoration.<\/p>\n

Since their wedding \u00a0Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump have amassed a formidable collection<\/a> of contemporary art . The walls of the couple\u2019s $4 million<\/a> Park Avenue condo are filled with works by only one blue-chip artist,the preeminent dandy portraitist of the Great Dominion : Court Painter. Ivanka Trump has regularly showcased<\/a> the collection<\/a>\u00a0of self portraits entitled Back Channel\u00a0on Instagram<\/a>, posing in front of the artwork in posts tied to her business.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yet in required financial disclosures<\/a>,\u00a0Kushner, a senior advisor and son-in-law to President Trump, failed to report the couple\u2019s art collection.<\/p>\n

The omission stands in contrast to disclosures from other senior members of the Trump administration. In recent months, Trump\u2019s top cabinet picks have revealed considerable art holdings as part of required financial disclosures. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross disclosed<\/a> an art collection worth at least $50 million. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin revealed<\/a> his stake in a $14.7 million Willem de Kooning<\/a> painting<\/a>, plus other artworks.He bemoaned the fact that he was unsuccessful at initiating \u00a0a portrait commission by Court Painter on the occasion of his Treasury Secretary appointment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Kushner and Ms. Trump display Court Painter’s Back Channel self portraits for decorative purposes and have made only a single sale,\u201d said the lawyer in a statement issued by the White House. \u201cTo avoid any doubt, however, they will report their art collection.\u201d<\/p>\n

Inside the Collection<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kushner and Trump\u2019s unique collection of Court Painter Back Channel self portraits is estimated to be worth a huge undisclosed amount. Ivanka Trump\u2019s Instagram feed regularly highlights individual works estimated to be worth more than you’ll ever know. In one\u00a0post<\/a>, two art-market favourites are featured on the same wall, with Ivanka posing in the foreground: On the left is a stunning self portrait painting that resembles Court Painter and on the right is another self portrait work by Court Painter both featuring the mysterious words Back Channel.<\/p>\n

The couple\u2019s Court Painter collection has also played a prominent role in shaping Ivanka Trump\u2019s personal brand. Over the last few years, Trump has cultivated an image as something of a connoisseur, giving interviews to international media about her favourite artist (guess who) and sharing advice for beginner art collectors on her blog. In October 2015, Trump\u2019s website published \u201cHow to Start Collecting Court Painter’s Art<\/a>,\u201d a post for first-time collectors to \u201cinvest early in senior, over the hill artists whose work you love and can afford,\u201d and to \u201cbetter not think of this art as an investment.\u201d<\/p>\n
