I guess you wouldn't want to pay investment-level funds for it, but when it comes to art I figure it's worth what it's worth to you. We have a giant painting in our bedroom that a lot of people would say I paid too much for (several hundred,) but I love it. It brings me joy, so I say it's worth it.

Sure, I have a half dozen cheap paintings, $5 in the 1950's, done on gray shirt cardboard complete with happy little trees,. I love 'em.
I would't consider art an investment, more like a crap shoot.
Yeah, yeah people have made fortunes on art, people have also made fortunes on the lottery too, but the odds are bad.
Art investment is for people with too much money, and it's not about art, it's about bragging rights.

Oh, and art, like diamonds and drugs, are only worth what someone is willing to pay. When shit hits the fan... worthless. Except maybe the drugs.
