As someone said earlier, the Church’s art treasures are not the Pope’s to sell.

That said, even if the Church were to sell off her art treasures, buildings, land, etc. for the relief of the poor and the hungry, what happens after all of that money has been dispersed and – as Jesus said in Matthew 26:11 – “the poor you have always with you?” The Church will have nothing and the poor will have even less, once the Church is no longer in a position to help.

And from this link,
Most objections about the Church’s alleged wealth is in regard to the art in the Vatican. Most of the art represents the work of Christians who wanted to place their talents at the service of God through the Church. The artwork is an example of their religiosity and is not for sale. Had the Church not preserved the art, much of it would have been destroyed through the ages. Such art is part of our heritage as Christians and indeed as human beings, and few people of any persuasion who appreciate such world culture would truly prefer that these treasures have been put into the control of secular commerce.
