Expired domains with back links utility

[admin]

I have been asked by a friend to look out for a domain name regarding painting and fine/modern art.

Some of these domain names can be off the wall (for obvious reasons...)

Is there a utility which will tell me something about the backlinks coming to an expired site?

Example

nothingtodowithpainting.com may be out there but I would have no way of finding it using conventional tools

thanks
