Anecdote on art. My wife and I got stuck going to an art auction sponsored by my daughter's private high school in affiliation with some art gallery. The school got a cut of the take. I expected to have to pay through the nose for something I did not want. To my surprise, we both had a lot of fun and I was able to buy a couple of nice numbered prints for little more than the cost of the framing; and this was typical. (Naturally, original oils or prints by famous people went for more.)
