I'm watching the American Masters documentary of Andy Warhol. At one point, art dealer Irving Blum is describing the value of the set of 32 Campbell's Soup Can paintings that Blum owned and later sold to the Museum Of Modern Art.

One of the first people to recognize the importance of Warhol's art, Blum gave Warhol his first big show, in which the soup cans were featured.

In doing describing the paintings' value, he does so entirely in terms of monetary value. I'm not sure why I'm surprised that an art dealer would value art primarily in terms of money, but it kind of makes me sad.
