  1.                   ​Real estate mogul the mystery buyer of $16K sketch by Trump          Elie Hirschfeld​ bought this sketch of the Empire State Building by Donald Trump.    Dubya, eat your heart out — Donald Trump is now officially a successful artist.  Page Six is told that real-estate mogul Elie Hirschfeld — whose art collection includes works by  Georgia O’Keeffe, Marc Chagall, Norman Rockwell and Mark Rothko, among others — bought a 

  2. (very, very basic) black marker sketch of the Empire State Building by the president at auction  for $16,000, some $4,000 above the estimated sale price.  Trump did the 12-by-9-inch drawing for a different charity auction in the early ’90s, when he  owned a stake in the Midtown landmark.  The picture originally sold for less than $100.  Hirschfeld, a former Trump business associate and son of the late real-estate tycoon (and  one-time owner of the New York Post) Abe Hirschfeld, told Page Six that he plans to hang the  piece with an Andy Warhol picture of Trump Tower and an Edward Hopper drawing of the  Waldorf Astoria.  A portion of the profits from the sale will be donated to NPR.
