The Modigliani Scandal (1976, 1985) novel
Ken Follett originally published his novel The Modigliani Scandal
in 1976 under the pseudonym of Zachary Stone, at least that's my assumption since it was copyrighted that year to that person. The novel was reissued under his own name in May 1985 as a paperback.

The Rembrandt Affair (2010) novel
Daniel Silva's 2010 novel The Rembrandt Affair
features once again his art restorer-sleuth Gabriel Allon, this time, as the time suggests, on the trail of a stolen, priceless and deadly Rembrandt painting.
In addition to scenes inside art galleries (public and private), there is also at least one depiction of an archivist, "a tall man in his early forties with reddish blond hair" who worked in the Jewish Historical Museum in Amsterdam. The scene between Gabriel Allon and him is on p. 83-85 (hardcover). On p. 172 (hardcover) there is also a reference to the "archives of Argentina's Immigration Office."
