If you buy a famous painting as an investment, I'd assume you have enough money to cover the taxes without having to auction it.

Accurately valuing the painting every year is definitely very difficult.

The same argument doesn't necessarily go for a farmer's farmland. The zoning could of course be calculated into the land value. But I'm unsure if farming economics allow for paying the taxes on those unrealized gains
