So Hockney's painting makes a shed of money

"A celebrated painting by British artist David Hockney has been sold at Christie's in New York for just over $90m (£70m) - an auction record for a work by a living artist." (BBC website)
I understand the concept of people 'investing' in art, to eventually realise a good profit.
But the concept of 'good' and 'bad' art has always evaded me. I had a discussion with an architect friend of mine, who stated that "Art was anything that is in a gallery". Jackson Pollock kind of spoiled the concept of art for me.
Hockney never really floated my boat. I saw his painting of a BMW, which just make me think it had been covered in graffiti.
May be I am too thick to "get it". I suggest people take a look in Tate Modern to maybe understand my thoughts a little better.
I can appreciate Roman art in sculptures and mosaics, and paintings of the renaissance.
Modern art just doesn't do it for me.
