Paintings or sculptures are reproduced in books, on the internet and in other forms. Individuals and organizations that use works of art can contact ProLitteris. We represent the rights of around 150,000 international artists.
Do you use works of art? When artists and legal successors transfer their rights to ProLitteris, we license the use of their works. We carry out this activity on a voluntary basis and not on the basis of a statutory mandate. We pass on the royalties paid by users, after deduction of administration costs and a contribution for social and cultural purposes, to the rights holders. The basis for this is the Art tariff and the distribution rules. Through collective licensing we simplify rights management where otherwise all rights holders would have to grant licenses individually.
Our offer covers works of visual art and art photography. These include, for example, paintings, drawings, illustrations, caricatures, cartoons, sculptures, three-dimensional works and artistic photographs. Like all works protected by copyright, these may only be used and reproduced with the permission of the rights holders.
For the worldwide search for artists whose image rights ProLitteris manages, our artist search is available to you.
