How can I find out the auction history of a painting, including its previous prices?

I've got an essay to write for my third year at university and I'm really frustrated cos I can't find out how much Mark Rothko's No. 7 (Dark Over Light) has been bought for by any of its previous owners. Can someone tell me where to look? Is there a website with auction price indexes or a book? Please please help, I'm desperate here...How can I find out the auction history of a painting, including its previous prices?
There are web sites and services to answer your question. However, that type of information is typically not free of charge. You might want to contact the National Gallery of Washington and speak to someone there, try to find contact information for Jean Ershler Schatz, artist and researcher from Laguna Woods, California, visit www.askart.com, or http://en.allexperts.com.
