Message:: [QUOTE="Alec Sutton, post: 34039, member: 80"]"I have two paintings from an individual who is in the Smithsonian, Georgia Museum of Arts, Telfair Museum. He's in Who's Who of Art." Technically he's a listed artist. But, as verybrad said, the term "listed" is getting muddy. Every flea market seller finds an artist's name somewhere on the net and proclaims it "listed." My grandfather is also in Who's Who, the Smithsonian, etc...so he is also "listed"...but there's no regular market for his work. "Listed" had some meaning when it strictly applied to Benezit, etc., qualified and expertly researched artists, but even then it didn't mean that much. Nowadays, at least in my view, it's often more of a sales gimmick. ----------------------- Aside from this, I have to commend verybrad on what he was able to pick up for under $50 ea. That's what's called having a mind, an eye and experience...and using all three.[/QUOTE]
