I've never heard of an artist being 'listed'
I believe the term "listed artist" refers only to having work sold through the major auction houses like Sotheby's, which can be verified by contacting them. It certainly does not apply to EBay auctions! and who would use that as proof of the value of their work anyway? Using the term to mean listed in a publication like a Who's Who, or a web directory, is a misuse of the term. Certainly being in a compendium can be helpful in your marketing efforts, but I suspect that the big time collectors know the difference. Also, the use of "listed artist" is normally used by a collector trying to resell the work, not by the artist in marketing the work originally. Hence, I would be suspect of any artist using this strategy to sell work.
Do you mean the major salerooms?I have read that a vast majority of paintings been sold at auction are actually fakes!
