I think it may be the opposite - big sells, at least in the art world ;-)
We just had a Thomas Struth (the contemporary German photographer) show in
Dallas - many of his works are huge C prints directly onto lucite (8x10'..)
The new Ft.Worth Modern Art Museum has some huge Cindy Sherman prints etc.

One of the comments repeatedly made by art directors, curators, our museum 
photographer, and docents giving tours was about the impact of the larger
prints, and hence their increased salability. One of the art tour guides who
helped catalog the show was immensely impressed by his use of a 4x5" camera
;-0) ;-) and credited the detail visible in such shots for the public's 
interest (e.g., notre dame cathedral front etc.) in the larger prints ;-)
