I find that http://www.abebooks.com is a pretty good source. To add to the search options on Bookfinder, Abe's advanced search has options for searching by publisher and date, which I use often. I also find that Abe gets me the most results.
Here is a site that offers a number of resources as well, a few dedicated to art: http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/ARTH/booksweb.html
Good Luck,
