Duration of licence
Monographs are publications devoted to the work of one artist and are licensed differently from other books.
Licence prices for monographs are calculated on a royalty basis, or a percentage of the retail selling price in the UK multiplied by the print run (excluding samples required by us). The royalty rate is subject to agreement with DACS on behalf of the relevant copyright owner.
The copyright owner may request payment in full or a non-returnable advance payment which will be recouped against future royalties, as well as the payment of a minimum guaranteed price to be paid upon expiry of the licence.
Comparative artworks in monographs are licensed in accordance with the table contained in Books.
It is not always practical to set up a royalty payment agreement where the total licence price for a monograph is less than £5000, however. If you think this may be the case, please contact us on [email protected] to discuss your use.
We'll need the following details to process your licence:
-
title of the artwork you want to reproduce
-
name of the artist
-
title of the publication
-
number of copies you expect to print
-
language(s) it will be published in and territories of distribution
-
do you wish the work to be reproduced in full, or cropped, manipulated or over-printed
-
will there be a digital version of the publciation
-
PDF or other mock-ups of the page layout (if available)
-
what will be the retail selling price in the UK, and in other territories it will be published in
Monographs, or books devoted to the work of a single artist, are priced differently from
books that cover more than one artist. There is an additional charge for
digital versions and other website reproductions.
The artist subject of the monograph or the relevant copyright holder usually participates in the success of a monograph by charging a royalty fee which takes the parameters of the publication into account but does not generally depend on the number of works used.
In the case of comparative works, a charge is made per reproduction. Prices quoted exclude VAT.
You must inform us about your plans to print your publication in a language other than English when you apply for a licence.
All prices are correct at the time of publication and are subject to change. Our members reserve the right to override our standard fees.
We review our licensing prices annually. This allows us to keep in-touch with changes in the industry and technological advances, so we can create relevant and robust licences that benefit both our customers and artists.
Should any price changes affect your industry, we shall notify you at least 14 days in advance.
Our fees are set irrespective of the size of the reproduction and whether it is reproduced in colour or black and white.
No additional charge is made where an artwork is used on the cover of this publication and this cover is then reproduced in an industry-standard promotional publication, e.g. a trade catalogue. However, other reproductions used to promote the publication incur an additional charge.
Our monograph licences have a flexible term and are negotiable with the copyright owner.
If your use or the format of your use changes, you will need to apply for a new licence.
Renewing or extending a licence
If you wish to renew or extend a licence you will need to submit a new request.
