Reproduction of a visual work of art may only be done with the permission of its creator or rightsowner, and when any type of reproduction is made the artist who created the work is entitled to a royalty. Examples of this type of use include advertising, magazines, course packs and exhibition catalogues. Artists and their heirs are not obliged to permit usage of their works.

By virtue of DALRO's reciprocal representation agreements with the majority of Northern European and American collective administration societies such as DACS, BILD-KUNST and VEGAP, we represent the reprographic interests of a large portion of the catalogue of artists from those parts of the world. DALRO also represents selected artists (or their estates) directly, including Pablo Picasso (Picasso Administration) and Irma Stern (the Irma Stern Estate).

When enquiring about permission to reproduce a work of art, it is important to supply as much information as possible. Please note that DALRO does not, as a rule, provide the actual artwork - we only administer the copyright of the images.
