Margaret:
Information on image vendors is still most often found in a dated but
handy book, The Picture Researcher's Handbook (Bowker, 1996). Perhaps
you checked it already. I'm writing this to the list serve in case
there's a better printed source, but this book (not a database) has
answered many questions our general research community has on image
distributors over the years. The PRH refers Art Resource to something
now called Meiklejohn Graphics in London. This may be another
incarnation all together. It could also be a lead.
Oddly enough, this book didn't mention the Bleeker Street company, but I
at one time actually photocopied and address and phone number from Dunn
& Bradstreet's and tipped it in the back (!). I can provide you that
old information if you need it for some reason.

Subject: [ARLIS-L] Whatever happened to...?
Hi all.
A faculty member at my University once obtained some images from a New
York-based outfit called Art Resource. They were on Bleeker Street in
the 1980s, and provided photographic reproductions of artworks. Now,
she cannot locate them with the usual Internet searches. Would anyone
know of their status / possible demise?
Many thanks for any information provided,
