Good Resources for locating domain names:
To find out who is responsible for any website or who has registered the
domain name, merely go to this URL:

Thank you, Miguel!
Guess what? I found the owner of the Alexander Rappoport painting. The
owner
of the Jewish Art Network website had its domain name registered to a person
named Felix Tarm. The address showed Hutchinson, KS as his contact
residence,
however, after calling a few 'Tarms' from Hutchinson, I got one lady who
actually knew him and she told me he had moved to Wichita.
A phonebook search for Wichita led me to an internal medicine specialist who
was
the son of the registrar of the Jewish Art Network website. He explained
that
business fell off so drastically after 9/11 that the site had not been
maintained since. He actually had the "Prayer" painting in his possession
but
was willing to make a deal for the image.
He let us use the digital Hellscan of Alexander Rappoport's painting, sold
the
rights to us for $300, gave us the download link and now we have it. I just
wanted to let you know the happy ending to this story.
To find out who is responsible for any website or who has registered the
domain
name, merely go to this URL:
<http://www.internic.net/whois.html> or
<http://www.whois.net/>
InterNIC is a registered service of the U.S. Department of Commerce. It is
licensed to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, which
is
the authority that oversees domain names and server assignments.
Again, Miguel, thank you for all your help. You're a sweetheart. I will
talk
to you again soon.
