The museum does not own or hold the copyright to the majority of the works in the New York University Art Collection. It is the responsibility of the user to obtain any and all permissions from third-party rights holders or their representatives before using images for purposes beyond fair use. To request high-resolution images, images not available on this website, or images for artworks under copyright restrictions, please follow the procedure listed below. 

If you are a rights holder and are concerned that you have found material on this website for which you have not granted permission (or is not covered by a copyright exception under U.S. copyright laws), you may request the removal of the material from our site by submitting a notice to greyartmuseum@nyu.edu.

Reproduction rights are granted for only one usage in one publication, one edition, and in one language. Additional language editions and subsequent revised new editions will be considered upon request.

Full documentation and ownership credit, as specified by the museum, must accompany the reproduction. If applicable, photographer’s credit must also be given.
