Marketing manipulation. We have been conditioned to precieve value in some things over others. It eleminates the idea that you as an individual have to engage and investigate to find your own value of a piece of art. I’m not saying that the popular pieces of an artist aren’t incredibly good. Just understand that an artist probably has dozens of other work you might want to engage with and appreciate.
I’ve seen this soon many times at art museums. Sure Starry night and Mona Lisa are great but the artists’ other masterpieces are literally 10 steps away and people seem to casually ignore. The power of the totebag fridge magnets.

Yup most people seem to have no taste of their own, they only value what others have already liked, they have no personality of their own
