I never understood those ridiculous prices for artworks that look like poop. "Here's a few random splashes of yellow paint on red background, €300 000 please". I used to think that maybe I'm just too stupid to understand the truly fine art, but no, it's all just speculation and dick measuring contest for people with too much money.

I just finished decorating my living room. Majority are prints of pictures that I found on the internet and then pushed through an AI upscaler, which means the costs are equal to the printing service and they look amazing. Two pieces have been commissioned, and total cost of both of them with printing is below a thousand. Just recently I saw a beautiful painting in a gallery and it cost me a thousand. Art doesn't need to be expensive to be beautiful.
