I see no difference whatsoever. whether a work is sold or not is purely up in the air.
some works are created on commission. that does not amke them any less of an art piece. Picasso"s Guernica, possibly the greatest anti-war artwork in the history of man, was created as a commission show piece for the World's Expo.
in my opinion, there are no works of art made by an artist just for themselves. All works are meant for display, whether they are for sale or not. art in a vacuum is pointless and useless. even art made by you just for you will end up on your wall and seen by anyone who enteres that room.
