Introduction

The Office of Rights & Reproductions will be temporarily closed starting December 14, 2012 through June 2013. At this time please contact Art Resource for ALL reproduction requests. They can be reached at 212-505-8700 or at requests@artres.com . Requests for personal prints or research images will not be taken during this time or through Art Resource and will resume again in June 2013. Thank you for your patience during this time.



The Office of Rights and Reproductions at the National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution:

  • Sells prints and slides of the unrestricted portraits in its collection
  • Licenses images for use in books, magazines, television, CD-ROMs, and other media.


  • The office will make every effort to assist with general requests, however, this is not a research facility. The Catalog of American Portraits (CAP) is another source for individual research and an appointment to visit the CAP may be made by calling (202) 633-8260. The CAP's database of nearly 70,000 portrait records is easily accessed through our Portrait Search area. The National Portrait Gallery and American Art Library may also be utilized by the public for research by calling (202) 633-8230 to make an appointment.



    Open Access to NPG Images

    The National Portrait Gallery has initiated an open access policy for selected digital images that comprise its charter collection. For the first time, visitors may search and download medium-resolution images free of charge and without authorization from the Gallery.

    All other requests for photographic materials for personal use, research, non-profit publications, and non-printed media use (including videos, CD-ROMS, Web sites, etc.) will be handled by the Office of Rights and Reproductions and will be subject to its policies.



    Art Resource in New York City has been contracted to handle requests for images in the permanent collection that will be utilized in commercial or profit-making ventures, and in publications with print runs over 10,000. Requests for such reproduction uses may be forwarded to Art Resource for processing and will be subject to their standard materials and photographic usage fees.
