Thanks to several for very helpful responses: http://www.goodreads.com/shelf/show/art-themed-fiction http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/200.Art_Artists_in_Fiction https://www.goodreads.com/shelf/show/list-art-and-artists-in-fiction http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/7800.Fiction_Books_Involving_Art When the Getty Research Institute acquired the Middeldorf collection it came with scholarly works and a collection of 'art in fiction' collection as well. Middledorf began the collection and as other learned of it, they sent him works that fit the collection. For some time the Getty continued to add to the collection but, not having worked there for years now, I'm not sure that is still true. So, it's worth a call to them or to check their online catalog. What a great resource you all are! Best, Julian D.
