Be interesting to the key galerists who define the first hand market. Outdo your peers in skill, aesthetics, novelty, materials, scandal. Ideally in all five of them, but exceptions happen. Then get very, very lucky.
Edit: oh, and keep in mind that few pieces that later became coveted collector items already commanded a high price on the initial sale.

There are many very successful conceptual artists with terrible ideas and a complete lack of technical skills (you can tell by looking at their early work). All the hard work of material, skill, and aesthetics gets done by studio assistants.
