Most well-known artists had a limited output of paintings and other works during their lifetime; however, many people and institutions wish to aquire these works. When demand exceeds supply, the price rises - simple economics.

Because usually the gallery takes 60% of the price. In order for the artist or seller to make any money at all... the price has to be high.

A painting will only be sold for the price that customers are willing to pay. Even a Monet would be sold for peanuts should no-one wanted to buy it!

its a matter of talent, and if the artist is dead then they cant create more , so the fact that there are only so many paintings by that dead person make it valuable, lots of really good artists are ignored.
