Image Rights & Reproductions Requirements
Image reproductions may be licensed for scholarly, commercial, or personal/study uses. All requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and must include the name of the requester, intended use, author/publisher, expected date of publication, requested collection image, and photography format requirements.
Image requests must be submitted at least three weeks prior to the date the material(s) are needed by to ensure adequate processing time.
Images will not be provided to the requester until the contract is countersigned and payment of any applicable fees is received by the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
Images of works from the Indianapolis Museum of Art’s collection may not be reproduced without the express written permission of the institution and that of the copyright holder, when applicable. Copying or redistributing images in any form for personal or corporate gain is prohibited.
The Indianapolis Museum of Art reserves the right to limit the number of copies; to refuse permission for inappropriate use; to charge fees different from those presented on this site.
