I don’t understand a lot of these pieces. But I’ve also experienced tremendous emotion over something that I try to share with others who give the same kind of “uhh what?” response. So I accept that I’m probably not the audience.

That being said I think there’s probably a few things that happen sometimes:

1. Money laundering

2. Rich people buying status

3. Rich people figuring out what exactly to do with their money

4. like crypto and other things, it has value because a community has decided it has value. It doesn’t have to make any sense. It’s self-fulfilling.

All art is highly subjective - "I know it when I see it."

I think what I want to say is that the world around art is weird to me.

As for money laundering, Jackson Pollock comes to mind.

And politicians receiving vast sums of money for their "art." Makes one go "hmmm."

I'd say the most important after the money laundry aspect is that people treat art as an investment.
