Ooh, if you're interested in mysteries that really widens the field! There's quite a dedicated group of mystery readers among ARLIS/NA members and we used to get together on an annual basis to share our favorites. One of my long standing favorite series is the Judge Dee mysteries by Robert van Gulik. Not all are strictly art related, some are more architectural. All set in Tang period China. Van Gulik is a rather fascinating scholar of Chinese culture (including art) and he illustrated his mysteries himself. But are you interested in fiction based on actual art works & artists or can the art & artists also be fictionalized? And does art include architecture & historic sites or monuments? And do artists include architects? And what about art historians & archeologists? Sounds like another great research guide topic for someone (or for the RISS section)!

I don't know if that is available anywhere, but it would be of interest in this context 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.
