>>43540746Paying for art makes sense if:
1. It's something unique, that you basically have to pay for, or it won't exist at all.
2. You really like the style of this one specific artist, and want something specific by them — maybe the thing itself isn't rare, but in this case it's much better than average, at least for you.
3. You want to support this artist, to make them keep putting out art in general.
4. You want something to brag about.
5. In rare cases — money laundering/investment.
