    Exactly. When it comes to art, especially art that people are willing to pay large sums of money for, the identity of the painter is 99.9% of the value of the art. This leads me to believe that good art even though painted/sculpted/created by an unknown artist will never come close to creating an opportunity for profit when compared to shitty art made by a famous artist. This is why people think that it's not morally acceptable to sell/profit from art made by famous murderers for example. At this point the art being good or bad is mute, because generally people buy expensive art for the name on the bottom right corner.
