Have you had some interiors being rebuilt? Perhaps a kitchen or bathroom renovation? You develop a sense about how much human labor it takes to construct something on location by hand, and how much that roughly costs to the person ordering it. It's quite a lot.
After such an experience I went to a large art sale exhibition. (Called teosvälitys over here.) It was a large old industrial space.
The art didn't seem expensive at all actually, even when just looking at the labor input. Especially the very well made sculptures and ceramics.
The million euro stuff is then another thing that's not really about art anymore.
We've been spoiled by cheap mass production. Not to mean it in a demeaning way, but literally, it has changed our expectations.
