I've never followed sales figures and wouldn't know where to look, but I do believe that art affects sales. Absolutely.
If I'm picking up a title for the first time, the art is the first thing I look at. If it sucks, I'm not going to read it. If I collect a title and the art became less mainstream, it would be very hard for me to stick with the book regardless of the writing. A one off I can handle, but that's about it.
I realize that art is subjective, but at the end of the day comics are a business and there's a reason why the best selling titles employ artists with mainstream appeal. If they didn't the books wouldn't sell and publishers would go out of business.
