I don't know that those make a compelling argument for Yo, though. How many were worth that much money in their day, or would have become worth what they are without the cachet of the artist?
While it pains me to say it, there is case to be made for Yo as a work of art, if art can be accidental (I guess all real memes are accidental art in a way, and Yo's popularity seems memetic to me.) And perhaps the ephemeral nature of the medium works against it, but I seriously doubt anyone is going to care about Yo fifty years from now.
