1999年夏天，考陶德学院举办了一个名为“艺术的价值”的展览。该展览由成对的物品组成，包括图片、雕塑、金属制品，它们表面上相似，但货币价值却截然不同。例如，一个女人擦干自己的德加粉彩被放在两个芭蕾舞演员的德加油旁边，这是拍卖价值的许多倍。考陶德夫妇的主要观点似乎是，除了美学质量之外，还有多种因素决定着拍卖价格。一件作品是否属于一个有名有姓的人，一幅画是用什么媒介创作的，以及对真实性的怀疑，都将有助于确定价格，即使美学上的考虑可能指向另一个方向。然而，更微妙的是，也遇到了相反的观点;有趣的是，可以用美学价值的差异来解释金融价值的差异。这一印象被无意中听到的参观者的谈话所强化。人们在激烈地争论，为什么两件作品之间的审美差异，或者没有，证明他们的价格差异是合理的。为什么这幅画的价格是那幅画的一百倍？绘图技术是否优于其他上级，如果是，在哪些方面？也许是用颜色或笔触？这几乎就像是审美判断和辩论的能力被价格知识所解放。在他们1981年的歌曲《法律的男孩》中，埃尔顿·约翰和蒂姆·赖斯描述了一对已婚夫妇离婚后的关系是如何转变的;它变成了一种经济和法律的交易：
In the summer of 1999, the Courtauld Institute put on an exhibition entitled 'The Value of Art'. The show consisted of pairs of objects pictures, sculpture, metalwork which were apparently similar but which had very different monetary values. For example, a Degas pastel of a woman drying herself was set alongside a Degas oil of two ballet dancers which was given an auction value many times that of the pastel. The main point that the Courtauld seemed to be making was that there are a variety of factors that determine auction price other than aesthetic quality. Whether a piece can be attributed to a named person, the medium in which a picture is worked, and doubts about authenticity will all contribute to the determination of price even when aesthetic considerations may point in another direction. More subtly, however, what also came across was the contrary point; what was interesting was the possibility of explaining differences in financial value by differences in aesthetic value. This impression was reinforced by the overheard conversations of the visitors to the show. People were energetically debating why the aesthetic differences between two works did, or did not, justify the differences in their prices. Why, for example, was this picture a hundred times the price of that? Was the draughtmanship superior and, if so, in what ways? Use of colour or brushwork perhaps? It was almost as if the capacity for aesthetic judgement and debate was liberated by knowledge of price. In their 1981 song, Legal Boys, Elton John and Tim Rice describe the way in which the relationship between a married couple is transformed by their divorce; it becomes a financial and legal transaction:
