well... a HUGE part of all of this is economics..... as long as we're looking in "the usual places".. i.e. high-end galleries
Galleries have to pay rent and curators and such.... so the works have to sell for $xxxxx, artist gets a percent, etc... those who can actually BUY art for $xxxxx are usually "the 1%" ... and often are stockbrokers, and/or people with that mindset....
This has been the case since the 80's.. every so often, the art market crashes and things get more interesting...
and/or we learn to look elsewhere... there's some cool stuff out there....
