Subject: Mayer/icollector.com update
Last month Lee Sorensen asked about Mayer's International Auction Records
and icollector.com.
I received an reply to an inquiry I made to icollector.com, regarding their
auction records database.
They confirmed that the Mayer database is the source of their auction
records, and that the records
are from 1987 to 1997. They plan to update the database but the customer
services employee who
responded was unable to give me any indication of how and when the update
would take place.
icollecor.com "acquired full rights to both the Mayer International Auction
Records & the Book Auction
Record (BAR) series" 3/28/00
http://www.ofex.co.uk//livedata.codata/icoll.htm ). Another source
( http://www.dejong.org/stocks/beii/news/990917.htm ) refers to "the
1987-1999 database" and says
"An Internet version of the book is provided by DMR through its
http://www.artlibrary.com web site," but
artlibrary.com is "currently unavailable for subscription" and refers you to
icollector.com, where the 1987-1997
database is available free. Berens Industries "signed a semi-exclusive
agreement with Digital Media
Resources Ltd., publisher of the Mayer International Auction Records
yearbook. Under terms of the
agreement, Berens Industries is one of only two worldwide licensees
permitted to display the contents of the
Mayer records in English and the sole US licensee."
My inquiry to DMR (8/16) at the email address given at artlibrary.com has
not yet been answered.
So far this is all I have been able to learn about the current status of
Mayer online, and I thought I'd pass it along.
Does anyone have any other information from artlibrary.com or DMR?
