I don't know. I know a few artists who are pretty well known in some circles who have a hard time cracking $40k/yr. I think any one of them would be happy as a pig in shit to sell some work for an unreasonable price. After all, it's still a business, and people still need to eat. I have a few works myself that I don't "get" but that I can appreciate and in which I can find my own meaning. An artist isn't going to quiz you on your knowledge of art history before (s)he sells you something.
