<p>[QUOTE="reader, post: 2478234, member: 255"]Not Debora but I’ll give you my take. My take is that a listed artist means nothing more than that they were recognized as a working artist or educator who also made art. What matters and IMO all that matters (if one is buying art for resale or future investment) is whether the artist has relatively current auction results. That an artist is listed on artnet, askart, etc is meaningless IMO in terms of value unless they perform at auction.</p><p><br /></p><p>Value of art is determined by secondary market resale.</p><p><br /></p><p>Meanwhile that’s not to say that some unlisted artists won’t bring smile worthy prices on a decorative level.
