Chicago Art Museum Said Donald Trump’s Super Expensive Painting Is a Fake
Donald Trump’s Renoir painting is apparently fake, the Art Institute of Chicago said.
The museum said that the real “Two Sisters on the Terrace” by Pierre-Auguste Renoir is hanging on their walls — and not his, like he said.
The museum said they were gifted the painting from Annie Swan Cobum in 1933, who bought it previously from Paul Durand Rule for $!00,000.
When Tim O’Brien, Trump’s biographer, spotted the painting on his private jet, he told him it wasn’t the original, according to Vanity Fair. At the time, Trump claimed it was an original Renoir.
“Donald, it’s not. I grew up in Chicago, that Renoir is called Two Sisters on the Terrace, and it’s hanging on a wall at the Art Institute of Chicago,” O’Brien had to say to him.
The next day, Trump mentioned it again as if the conversation never happened: “You know, that’s an original Renoir.”
Tim decided not to bring it up again. “I’m sure he’s still telling people who come into the apartment, ‘It’s an original, it’s an original,’” he said. “He believes his own lies in a way that lasts for decades. He’ll tell the same stories time and time again, regardless of whether or not facts are right in front of his face.”
