“…Although discourses on the existent and the illusionary nature of art are more commonly associated with contemporary post-modern theory (Higson 2014), the inclusion of signs and symbols within historical works has similarly served to convey meaning, shape opinion and influence behaviour (Bedaux 1978;Panofsky 1970;Gombrich 1985). The concept of Iconology has parallels with the semiotic interpretation of literary texts and the more contemporary analysis of advertising imagery (Schroeder 2006).…”

While the concept of authenticity is commonly linked to the market exchange process, it also assists in the pursuit of political, social and economic objectives. Authenticity provides a legitimating function that serves the needs of specific groups and individuals. Establishing authenticity remains culturally and contextually dependent and requires an understanding of prevailing power relationships and historical events. This is demonstrated by reference to a series of sixteenth and seventeenth century images of retailing and the marketplace. Using iconological interpretive techniques, the paper identifies how works of art served a propagandist role designed to influence and modify public opinion. Developments in both production and consumption led to a commodification of artistic works and afforded a means of communication that both challenged and empowered established institutions. The paper highlights the contemporary significance of these findings and suggests that modern marketing imagery may seek to authenticate socio-political as well as economic meaning.

“…Authenticity has also been linked with the concept of nostalgia as both seek to explore how consumer values and contemporary patterns of consumption have been influenced through memories of the past (Higson 2014). Indeed, some such as Potter (2010, 270) have viewed authenticity as "a dopey nostalgia for a non-existent past".…”

“…Além disso, o crescimento das redes sociais online permite não somente o compartilhamento de informações e experiências de consumo, mas também a formação de comunidades virtuais online em torno de marcas, produtos, séries de televisão e estilos musicais (KOZINETS, 2010;MUNIZ e O'GUINN, 2001). Em outras palavras, as comunidades virtuais permitem aos consumidores ressignificar objetos do passado, de modo a atribuir significados diferentes daqueles construídos pelo mercado (HIGSON, 2014). Nesse sentido, a ressignificação do passado seria uma forma do consumidor atribuir autenticidade a esses objetos (RIBEIRO, 2005;CAMPBELL, 2001 Essa busca por autenticidade seria um fenômeno contemporâneo, pois grande parte das referências culturais que servem como recursos simbólicos para construção de identidades pelo consumidor são percebidos como inautênticas (BELK, 1990;GOULDING, 2000;MCCANNEL, 1973).…”

“…It is a process of self exploration and sense making, rather than merely an aesthetic or cultural tour of the past (Jafari and Taheri 2013). If celebrity artists like Kinkade are viewed as cultural producers, it can be argued that they deliberately set out to develop a nostalgic mood among their fans (Higson 2013).…”

This paper develops the work of Kerrigan et al. (2011) by considering the impact of the celebrity artist on the associated production and consumption activities. It also considers the role which entrepreneurial marketing plays in helping to create the celebrity artist aura. The artist Thomas Kinkade is used to illustrate how this occurs in practice. Here, authenticity and nostalgia dimensions are also influential factors. Underpinning these relationships are the roles played out by the media, including communication of celebrity artist identity, and the catalysing of its commodification within the celebrity artist brandscape. An enduring celebrity brand results due to the market creation activities of the celebrity artist. A conceptual model is developed which synthesises the factors behind the production and consumption of the celebrity artist which can stimulate further research.This paper provides innovative insight into the world of the celebrity artist by interrogating the market making and shaping devices behind successful production and consumption practices.
