For an artist to be dead limits the supply.

Without comment on whether I appreciate their work...Rothco, Warhol, Lichtenstein, and many others had works sold for big bucks (not sure about millions) during ther lifetimes. Death does not make work “good” or “important” — it just limits the supply. Lots of artists sell their work for substantial sums, sometimes due to a bandwagon effect, good promotion by dealers, etc., but usually because the work itself appeals to the buyers.
