Epstein emails show he explored direct purchases from artists

The mass trove of documents from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate released by the House Oversight Committee this week show the financier and convicted sex offender explored direct purchases from emerging artists, while others reinforced his interest in art.

The documents included a series of February 2017 emails in which Epstein and two associates discuss possible art purchases, artist studio visits, and the logistics of making payments.

The correspondence, sent between Epstein, Etienne Binant, and Darren Indyke, outlines practical steps the group was considering regarding acquiring artwork, according to messages reviewed by Urgent Matter.
