I think the answer to the question "What is the value of beauty?" is best answered by the ever so popular phrase, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Therefore beauty has no price value in all actuality, what beauty is and what is the value of that beauty depends solely on the person.
In terms of art people place value on many items, a piece by Picasso would be said to have a value of a million dollars, where as a personal piece of my own would be worth merely as much as the sheet of paper i drew it on. Thats sort of how when people create paintings they dont think of it in terms of how much will this be worth. Its more of a conceptual value to self. So an artwork that I create may be worth the world to me in terms of material and price value because it has a secial meaning to me. It doesnt have to be of value to anyone else.
I honestly think that beauty has no shared value between people. We all see the world differently, we value things differently. The only value beauty has is the value of self.
True, beauty opens locked doors. Many people look for external beauty, and they forget about feelings. But in the end, when the beauty is over, the same doors will be closed.
