Abstract

Does visual art enhance the prestige of luxury brands? To test the integration effect of luxury brands and art, we conduct two studies using the Louis Vuitton (LV) brand. This paper shows that visual art enhances consumers’ perceived prestige value, including perceived conspicuous value, perceived unique value, perceived quality value, and perceived hedonic value, but that it has no effect on perceived extended self. Further, this effect is strengthened when the price of the product is between 25 and 50 % higher than the price of a comparable product. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media New York 2015
