To those who asked for a recap of the sources suggested for locating data sets for art sales, here is a quick summary: Mei Moses Index - previously this was a good source for this type of data but the index appears to no longer be available. Getty Provenance Index<http://www.getty.edu/research/tools/provenance/index.html> - currently allows for downloading data in a CSV format, and is working on a Linked Open Data project. Artnet Analytics<https://www.artnet.com/analytics-reports/> - in addition to the standard subscription for Artnet, there is a subscription option for Artnet Analytics to give researchers access to data, as well as more affordable options for one-time reports to get customized data sets to researchers. This is the option that worked best for our student as his interest was in contemporary art. I hope this is helpful to others. Thanks to all who replied and shared your wisdom!
