Sara, there was a major piece on this very topic - artists distributing their
work over the Internet, either directly or through e-commerce entrepreneurs
and dealers - in the Circuits section of the November 4, 1999 New York Times,
p.G1. I kept the article and can send a copy (includes pictures), or you can
get the text off Lexis-Nexis. --Barbara Sykes-Austin, Avery Library
