Well, I don't think so. If an ICC profile is equivalent to a white balance (I don't know that, I only assume that), I see no point in it. You cannot distinguish between a lens colour cast and a slightly tinted white balance. So an ICC profile is only relevant if you *neither* want to auto-whitebalance nor setting it to a nice-looking value manually. And even then, you need properly calibrated white balance presets for your camera. So I don't see an application in art photography. A properly colour-calibrated camera is different, though: Once the white balance is done, the colours *relative* to the white point are what the human eye would perceive in the original scene. This is of some value in my opinion (although by far not as important as a calibrated monitor).
