We worked with national arts organisation the Art Fund to license a classic Andy Warhol image for posters advertising their National Art Pass in the London Underground. The pass provides the holder exclusive offers and discounts on entry to major galleries and museums across the UK. The funds raised through the pass help museums and galleries buy important works of art for their public collections.

Everybody Razzle Dazzle, commissioned by Liverpool Biennial, 14-18 NOW and Tate Liverpool
Unveiled in Liverpool in 2015 was Sir Peter Blake’s ‘Razzle Dazzle’ ferry – a working Mersey Ferry which has been painted in a geometric Pop Art design. The moving artwork was commissioned by Liverpool Biennial, 14-18 NOW and Tate Liverpool to mark the centenary of World War I, and is inspired by the distinctive ‘dazzle’ camouflage applied to battleships during the war. Artimage had the pleasure of licensing high-res images for prints featured in an on-board display, as well as for Liverpool Biennial’s website.
The Chronic
We were delighted to work with South Africa-based cultural journal, The Chronic, to license images by Ibrahim El-Salahi for their July issue. Entitled ‘The Sahara is Not a Boundary’, this edition of the quarterly gazette featured sketches from El-Salahi’s Prison Notebook series, depicting his experiences of Sudan’s Kober (Cooper) Prison in the 1970s.
BBC Four’s ‘What Do Artist’s Do All Day?’
We worked with the production team behind the successful BBC Four ‘What Do Artists Do All Day?’ documentary series to license images by artists including Tracey Emin and Yinka Shonibare MBE. The series takes an intimate look behind-the-scenes of the day-to-day work of some today’s most exciting contemporary artists.
