They have to be buying the provenance and the name(s), and not the beauty of the work.
Well, yeah.

If it’s subjective then it has failed as art.

I'm a simple man but I do love art. I in no way mean to put down the talent of an artist, Dali included. I look at art, in my untrained eye, like this: would I hang that on my living room wall? I find that there are many artists that fit my walls just fine. I guess my point would be: I don't care for that art, although I see that artist is very talented. Frankly I like sculptures better than paintings but enjoy it all.

One can be objective about whether or not an artwork is good, based on the workmanship, composition, choice of colors, etc., but whether or not one likes the piece is subjective.
