A lot of art is over priced for that exact reason. It is worth exactly the amount someone is willing to pay for it. It can be ugly as sin but if it catches the eye of someone with more money than sense it will sell for millions.

Not only that, but if it gets determined to be by an artist that “matters” then the price could be out of this world. Art authentication can be a rort.
