The art critic concludes that the two metrics used to judge art—whether or not its value is intrinsic and whether or not judgments of its quality are objective—are related. Why? Because if an artwork’s value is shown not to be intrinsic, then the value must be extrinsic. And, the author believes this implies that if an artwork's value is extrinsic, then judgments of its quality must not be objective.

The flaw with this argument lies in the assumption that art with extrinsic value can’t be viewed objectively. There’s no reason to believe that this must be the case. Why can’t art with extrinsic value still be judged objectively? The art critic doesn’t provide an answer.

The critic doesn’t assume that all judgments of an artwork's quality are a matter of taste, only those directed at art with extrinsic value.

Whether people agree or disagree on anything is irrelevant. The argument is focused on the relationship between an artwork’s quality and value.

This describes the art critic’s assumption. The critic claims that if the value of a work is extrinsic, then judgments about its quality can only be a matter of taste, but provides no evidence that this is the case.

The critic makes no claim about works with intrinsic value. The claim is that works with extrinsic value are never judged objectively, not that ones with intrinsic value always are.

The critic doesn’t assume that any artwork actually has intrinsic value, only that ones with extrinsic value cannot be judged objectively.
