Colleagues,
I don’t believe the Getty has been adding anything to the Middeldorf collection for a number of years. My art mystery bibliography began with the mysteries in
that collection as its core, and I have since added many titles. It now numbers over 1600 titles, and includes mysteries involving archaeology topics (e.g., Elizabeth Peters, Lyn Hamilton).
It’s in the form of an Excel spreadsheet and I would be happy to send it to anyone who would like it.
At the Houston conference I gave a paper on his collection, which was subsequently published in
Art Doc (v.24, no.2, 2005)
http://www.jstor.org/stable/27949375
The latest art in fiction book is Susan Vreeland’s
Lisette’s List, set in WWII Provence.

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)!
Best wishes,
Janine Henri

Shannon Van Kirk's article "The Development of Art in Fiction as a Subject: Research in Progress" in Art Documentation v.25, #1, 2006, also mentions that Amy Ciccone was compiling a bibliography of art-related mysteries. I don't know if that is available anywhere, but it would be of interest in this context as well.

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,
