My gut tels me that modern art is a bubble with no objective way to measure any aspect of it and the market price is artificially inflated by all sorts of actors with conflicting interests.

Have you read a good critic of moder art that you could recommend?

'Duty Free Art' by Hito Steyerl might be of interest to you. It's largely about how artworks are used by the rich to store wealth in tax-free locations, and how that affects and distorts the art market more generally. Steyerl is an artist herself but her work is often critical of contemporary art practices and institutions.
