Not everyone is buying art as an investment. I might just like to look at a particular picture on my wall. Buying everything based on the value it might give someone else in the future seems like a pretty pointless life. Art should be bought based on the value it brings to your life. I don't think art is necessarily a good investment anyway unless you plan on outliving the artist (or they are already dead) AND a lot of people like their work or you have reason to believe they will. The problem with art is that it could be low value now but priceless in a museum two hundred years from now. It's also super niche. Money isn't. Everyone uses it.
