So whether it’s hanging in a museum, on a corkboard, or being used as an advertisement for beer, a piece of art can be used for any purpose, even ones made by “the masters.” Now mystification definitely plays a part in this because although there’s no doubt that Van Gogh was a great painter, are his paintings really worth $82 million?
