Collection highlights include a portrait of talk-show host Wendy Williams eating a lamb chop, as well as a still-life painted by the wife of Donald Trump’s National Economic Council director, Larry Kudlow. Known to audiences worldwide thanks to “Last Week Tonight,” these artworks will soon go on show in five US museums chosen by John Oliver in the coming weeks. The institutions selected will also receive a $10,000 donation to help top up their coffers after months of closure.

Although John Oliver is no stranger to unexpected happenings, this initiative has also been launched in response to news that many American museums plan to sell works in their collections to survive the economic fallout from the global pandemic.
