Absolutely. That isn't to say that there haven't been people making great art in the past 5 yrs or next 5.. History generally says that the best art is often not sellable near its time of creation. Talented artists do work for money, and for commission. If they can't do that because of ecconomic reasons, they are still going to create for themselves, and probably do something much more wonderful.
There is a lot of bullshit pop art around, and I loathe the narcissim and commercialism of everything Hirst&co.
You do need to take into account though that right now there are more artists on this planet than there ever have been, with better acccess to money and media than what they've ever had before. It's going to take time for the good to filter from the bad.. It'll only get worse too, imho.
