Under #capitalism art is a commodity like everything else and so the most valuable pieces are most expensive, however, as value in art is relative, this principle works the other way around - the most expensive pieces are most valuable i.e. the rich determine the criteria for what’s beautiful and ugly.
This undermines art, reducing it to just another form of entertainment for the elite, and marginalizing all artists who want to be something different than that.
