Copyright & Reproductions

Requesting an Image for Publication
Digital images of artworks in the AGSA Collection can be licensed for various uses, including print and online publications, film, and multimedia projects, selected commercial products, and research.

A range of our works is also available to license through Bridgeman, the only other legal source for images from our collection.

If you wish to order a print reproduction, a selection is available at the Gallery Store, or you request a custom print by contacting store@artgallery.sa.gov.au.

Delivery
Please allow plenty of time for processing your request before your publication date. While images may be readily available for some works, others may require photography arrangements, in which case you will be advised as soon as possible. The type of digital file supplied will depend on the intended use.

Fees
Reproduction fees apply to most publications, starting at $150 per image plus GST for high-resolution digital files. The specific fees will depend on the nature of the publication or product. Please note all costs are exclusive of GST.

For research requests, fees will only apply if the work requires photography. These fees support the Gallery's services and ongoing commitment to digitisation.

Conditions
A full list of conditions is included in the application form, but here are key points to note:

• To ensure the highest quality reproductions, permission will only be granted for images supplied by AGSA; images sourced from other places will not be authorized. Images licensed through Bridgeman do not require additional clearance.
• All images are photographed in-house and colour-corrected to ensure accuracy.
• The full caption provided by AGSA must be included to acknowledge the artist in accordance with Moral Rights legislation.
• Applications for covers, details, or merchandise must include a mock-up of the proposed design for approval.
• Images may not be cropped, overprinted, or distorted in any way without further permission from the Gallery.
• A PDF proof of the publication must be supplied to AGSA for approval before going to print.
• Images published electronically must be at a resolution unsuitable for reproduction.
• Requests deemed inappropriate or unacceptable to either the Gallery or the artist may be denied.
• AGSA does not authorise actions that infringe on the copyright or moral rights of the artist.
• Failure to meet these conditions may result in permission being withdrawn.
• A complimentary copy of the final publication or product must be supplied to the Gallery.

Copyright
Images of artworks in our online Collection can be used for private research and study, as well as other exceptions defined by section 40 of the Australian Copyright Act 1968, without needing specific permission. All other uses require Gallery permission and potentially the permission of the copyright holder. AGSA will assist with contact details where possible, but it is the client's responsibility to obtain permission from the copyright holder before reproducing artworks.

For more information on copyright, please contact the Australian Copyright Council.
