Over 16,000 images and counting
Since launching in 2014, we now have more than 16,000 images by over 150 international artists available to license for a range of uses – giving you more choice of artworks than ever before.
Over the past year we’ve given you access to images by new, award-winning contemporary artists on Artimage such as David Shrigley and Sam Taylor-Johnson, as well as world-renowned twentieth century masters like Henri Matisse.
We’ve broadened our horizons to bring you powerful and emotive images from the archives of social realist photographers Martin Jenkinson, Pogus Caesar and more.
We continue to source for you images of our artists’ newest work, as well as provide access to rare and unpublished archival material.
You can also access images of iconic portraits from our National Portrait Gallery collection – adding to the growing list of museums and galleries that we are working with.

Unparalleled benefits
In other news, the past year saw us harness the latest technology to introduce an innovative visual search tool. In a few simple clicks, you can discover images you’ll love based on your visual preferences. Try now.
As always, our fees go back to the artists and estates we represent, so every purchase you make with Artimage helps to support their work.
And unlike other image suppliers, we won’t send you anywhere else to get the copyright permission you need to reproduce your image. That’s all included in our service.
