That baseline is accretive to the utility and thus value of the asset.
But hell, as others say, who cares, we are all dead eventually (and what else am I going to do in the meantime).

By utilitarian I meant that artwork serves a purpose beyond being valuable. We all have homes, I assume we all have something on the wall too. And that doesn't take into account other forms of artwork, like furniture, lawn ornaments, comic books, comic strips, cartoons, posters, t-shirts, shoes, logos, etc.
