Baron Grafton Arthouse Ltd ("Baron Grafton Arthouse") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same.
Baron Grafton Arthouse requires their users and website visitors to respect an honour all Copyright laws. In your use of and interactions with the Website, you may not post, modify, distribute, or reproduce in any way any Content, including any Artworks, that is our copyrighted material, without obtaining our prior written consent.

F.A.Q
Copyright ownership is distinct from ownership of the physical piece of artwork. When an artist creates a work of art, the artist owns both the copyright in the artwork, and the physical artwork. Ownership of the copyright is an intellectual property right. Ownership of the physical artwork is a personal property right.
Your rights to a purchased “Work of Art" are therefore limited to a right to private use and to resell the artwork privately but excluding any right of representation, commercially exploitation and of reproduction. No other rights are granted or implied.
Although the client may “own” the work of art, the artist who created the work owns the copyright, including all ways in which that artwork is represented (photos, video, ads, logos, branding), other than in situ (on-site documentation photos).
Under the Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 (so for works produced after 1 October 1989) the author (or creator) of the work owns the first copyright in the work.
Your rights to a commissioned works of art are therefore limited to a right to private use and to resell the artwork privately, but excluding any right of representation, commercially exploitation and of reproduction. No other rights are granted or implied.
