  Conditions to which the applicant for images is subject from the Museu Picasso in Barcelona

  • The use of images of works by Pablo Picasso and other artists that form part of the Museum's collection is subject to intellectual property rights. In the case of Picasso's works in particular, the rights must be managed with Picasso Succession, the titleholder of the artist's rights. For this reason, prior to making use of it, the applicants must contact the collective management entity of intellectual property rights that belongs to their country in order to obtain the authorisation and to pay the corresponding amounts. In Spain this entity is VEGAP (Núñez de Balboa, 25, 28001-Madrid, tel. 91 532 66 32 / Fax 91 531 53 98 ). For other countries, consult the website of Picasso Administration.
