For the most part, artists that achieve a certain amount of popularity, to the point that their names become part of the public lexicon in popular culture tend to remain popular. Picasso is easily among the top ten, maybe top five.
And, it seems to be independent of the general public's perception of the quality of his art.
There are now enough elites that none of the big names will go wanting in future auctions.
