6. Press, editorial, academic, and educational use

Journalists, galleries, curators, museums, publishers, researchers, educators, students, and other organisations should contact me before reproducing an artwork, photograph, or substantial part of a text.

Permission may depend on:

  • the duration and geographical scope of the use.

Permission is valid only when provided expressly in writing.

8. Artwork inquiries and purchases

You may contact me regarding the availability or possible purchase of an artwork.

Submitting an inquiry does not reserve an artwork and does not create a purchase agreement.

Any sale, commission, licence, delivery, payment, or other transaction will be subject to separate written terms agreed between the relevant parties.

Unless expressly agreed in writing, purchasing a physical artwork does not include the transfer of copyright, reproduction rights, licensing rights, or commercial-use rights.

The owner of a physical artwork may not reproduce, publish, license, merchandise, or commercially exploit the image of the artwork without prior written permission.
