Photographic Service
The Photographic Service supplies photographs of artworks in the Finnish National Gallery collections and other material in the Picture Archive for research, publication and other purposes. Photographs of current exhibitions are available at the Finnish National Gallery’s press server.
The Photographic Service supplies print-quality slides (9
x 12 cm), black-and-white photographs and digital files, for
which a photo use agreement must be signed. Photo use fees
are based on a tariff specified in Finnish legislation.
The Photographic Service will be happy to answer any enquiries
concerning the Picture Archive.

Copyright
Copyright to photographs of art is held both by the artist
and the photographer. After the death of the artist, the heirs
retain copyright for 70 years. The customer is responsible
for paying any copyright fees owed to the artist. The artist/artist’s
estate is legally entitled to grant copyright clearance, or
to delegate this task to the Visual Artists’ Copyright
Association (Kuvasto). A list of artists/artist’s estates
that have made an agreement with the Visual Artists’
Copyright Association is available at the Kuvasto website.
The Photographic Service has compiled a list of copyright
holders not having such an agreement.
