Rights and reproductions
The work of Eduard Arranz-Bravo is protected by copyright. Reproducing it — in a catalogue, a book, a thesis, an exhibition, the press or on a screen — requires authorisation.
Who authorises
Successió Arranz-Bravo, S.L., as holder of the inherited exploitation rights. Protection runs until 31 December 2093: seventy years from the 1st of January following the author’s death, which is the term set by Spanish intellectual property law.
Owning a work does not give the right to reproduce it. They are two different things: whoever buys a painting buys the painting, not the right to publish its image. This holds for every living artist and for everyone who died less than seventy years ago.
What to tell us
- Which work you want to reproduce. The inventory code if you know it, or the title and year.
- Where it will appear: publication, exhibition, medium, website, and who publishes it.
- How: size, whether it goes on the cover, whether it appears whole or cropped.
- Print run and territory: how many copies, in which territories, in which languages.
- When, and until when.
Conditions that are not negotiable
- The work is not cropped, flipped, or altered in colour. A painting has edges and the edges are part of the work.
- Nothing on top of it: no text, no logos, no gradients, no veils to rescue the contrast of a headline.
- The full credit beside the image: artist, title, year, medium, dimensions, and the collection line where we agree one.
- One copy of whatever is published, for the Estate archive.
Photographs
An authorisation to reproduce does not include the photograph. If you need a high-resolution one, say so in your email and we will see whether the archive has it. Where the photograph is a third party’s, the rights in it are theirs and must be cleared separately.
Editorial and academic use
Theses, research articles and criticism are welcome and the route is the same, but say that is what they are: they are not treated like commercial use.
