Art hasn't always been about scarcity there's a long history of public art, in ancient Egypt far from being scarce art was everywhere but art was effectively sponsored by the government in ancient Egypt. You didn't sell art to a collector you were sponsored by the government to make art that was everyone to enjoy.
