All visual images (including any original drawings, plans or archive material) held or displayed in RAG are subject to copyright rules.

General Copyright

RAG holds or controls the copyright for all of the images and artworks in the Permanent Collection exhibited in the Gallery or periodically displayed on this website. If any viewer wishes to copy an image or artwork or document should contact a Trustee for specific permission. For contemporary images in the collection, the work itself will also be protected by copyright. Artistic works are normally protected in the EU for a period of the lifetime of the artist plus at least 70 years.

For clarity, the following acts are prohibited in respect of any visual image within RAG or on its website.

• copying a work, by hand, by camera or by camera telephone.
• selling, renting or lending copies of a work to the public.
• performing, showing or playing a work in public.
• broadcasting a work.
• making an adaptation of a work.

It is an individual responsibility to obtain permission from copyright holders (through the Trustees) before a reproduction of works or any other content is made, or this will constitute an infringement of copyright.

The Design and Artists Copyright Society (DACS) represents many artists and estates for matters of copyright in the UK. DACS is contactable on Telephone: 020 7336 8811, Fax: 020 7336 8822, or through their website: www.dacs.org.uk
