The art critics do not determine value. People with more money than brains do that. At one point Picasso had to stop signing checks because they became more valuable than what the checks were written for just because they had his signature on it. So there is a complete disconnect between the value of art and it's esthetic dimensions. I would venture that most speculative art is stored away in vaults and not being looked at yet still gaining value.
