How much does a Picasso sell for? How much does a Bert Emanuel sell for? How many buyers for a Picasso? How many for a Bert Emanuel?
For the most part, Art is incredibly subjective. All a person can legitimately say is what they like or don't like. Of course indicators are art museums that have hanged your work, galleries that want to represent you and number of commissions.
I would say > not really. There are galleries that my art is shown in, and there could be many more, when I get around to contacting them.
It is clear however, that art galleries and museums are absolutely no yardstick for the worth of anyone's art. By far, the great majority of excellent art has never hung in ANY museum, which like the Los Angeles Museum of Modern Art is filled with scam trash. Almost all are shown in online galleries, which are rapidly replacing on-the-street galleries, mostly because the on the street galleries just have too much stuff that is not really pleasing to people.
That's because a lot of it got there because of WHO the artist knew, and sometimes paid a tidy sum to have it there.
I gauge the value of my art by people just telling me they like it, they sometimes buy it, and to me, it looks like something that I think most people would like to have on their walls, and make us feel good when we see it.

Bluegrass Garden by Bert Emanuel
Four standard instruments of Bluegrass music in their typical location, under the trees, among the bushes, flowers, & grass. Acoustic instruments, needing no electric outlets to plug into.
The blue diamonds are Banjo melody notes. Brown rectangles represent guitar rythym chords. Orange pear shapes are mandolin notes. Purple lines are beats of the bass fiddle, providing the depth and foundation of the songs.
