They considered the styles, how much they liked it, year it was made, and whether the viewer thought they could make it themselves. I wish they put another axis, the appraised value of the art piece, for their multivariate analysis.
My takeaway is that 9% of Americans think they could replicate Michelangelo's "David" by sculpting it themselves.
Or maybe 3D print it? ;)
